Live pull, category computers-electronics-and-technology, as_of_ts 2026-08-02T04:01:35Z: google.com, facebook.com, instagram.com, x.com, reddit.com, whatsapp.com, bing.com, tiktok.com, yandex.ru, linkedin.com.
Same feed, category e-commerce-and-shopping, same timestamp: amazon.com, temu.com, ebay.com, aliexpress.com, ozon.ru, walmart.com, amazon.in, amazon.co.jp.
Those are different boards. A competitive packet that omits category will mix paypal.com (finance) with famousbirthdays.com and pages.dev. That mixed pull happened in this session when category was left off. Do not ship the mix.
Official top-level slugs include adult, arts-and-entertainment, business-and-consumer-services, computers-electronics-and-technology, e-commerce-and-shopping, finance, games, news-and-media, travel-and-tourism. Subcategories use parent/child.
Rank is not Similarweb
Similarweb's API docs describe data credits, a domain × granularity × country × time formula, and a sales-led subscription. Vendr-style writeups in 2026 put platform contracts in a wide annual range. Check current pricing. This feed does not emit visits, bounce, or channel mix. It emits rank in a category.
A rival domain missing from limit 10 is not zero. Raise limit or page with offset. Store as_of_ts. The ecommerce snapshot here is 25 days older than the Google Trends snapshot pulled the same hour. Amazon notes: the Amazon guide.
