SimilarWeb Connector
Intro
SimilarWeb collects, measures, analyzes and provides user engagement statistics for websites and mobile apps. Use Domo's SimilarWeb connector to retrieve data about keyword competitors, website visits, traffic sources, and much more. To learn more about the SimilarWeb API, visit their page (https://developer.similarweb.com/).
You connect to your SimilarWeb account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the SimilarWeb connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
Prerequisites

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the SimilarWeb Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
