SEMrush API: SEO data, keywords and competitors with AI agents
The SEMrush API gives access to the platform's research data: keywords, domain analysis, backlinks and position tracking. Agencies and marketing teams that build reports and their own tools use it. Access is through an API key, with units consumed according to the plan.

Questions about the SEMrush API
Is the SEMrush API free?
Generally no. API access depends on a specific plan, and queries consume paid units. Check the current terms with SEMrush.
Do I need to code to use the SEMrush API with iTeam?
Not necessarily. iTeam's HTTP tool reads the API documentation and learns the endpoints, and the deployment team sets up credentials, permissions and tests with you.
Is the SEMrush API included in every plan?
Not necessarily. API access is tied to specific plans and to buying units, so confirm with SEMrush for your account.
