# SEMrush API

SEMrush Analytics API provides access to SEO and competitive intelligence data including domain analytics, keyword research, backlink analysis, and URL-level reports. The API uses a single endpoint with a 'type' parameter to specify the desired report. The API exposes 1 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically get an analytics report. Covers 1 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for analytics only.

## Capabilities

- Get an analytics report
- Manage analytics data programmatically
- Integrate SEMrush API into automated workflows
- Query and filter SEMrush API records by parameters
- Monitor SEMrush API operational status and events

## Use cases

### Analytics Operations

Use the SEMrush API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including get an analytics report.

Example prompt: Call GET / to get an analytics report

### Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query SEMrush API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.

Example prompt: Poll the primary SEMrush API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SEMrush API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'get an analytics report', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the SEMrush API by hand means learning that the key travels as a query parameter, assembling report requests against api.semrush.com, and parsing its responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SEMrush API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The SEMrush API exposes a single report endpoint, so scoping is operations-only: limit the agent to the report operation it needs and nothing more. You choose the operations it may call, so anything you do not add stays out of reach.
- **Credential handling:** Your SEMrush API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get an analytics report' or 'pull domain metrics', and Jentic returns the matching SEMrush API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the SEMrush API use?

The SEMrush API uses an API key passed in the `key` query. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

### Can I get an analytics report with the SEMrush API?

Yes. Use the GET / endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the SEMrush API?

Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.

### How do I get an analytics report through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get an analytics report'. Jentic returns the matching SEMrush API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the SEMrush API have?

The SEMrush API exposes 1 endpoints covering default operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SEMrush API?

Yes. The SEMrush API exposes a single analytics report endpoint, so scoping is operations-based: in your own self-hosted Jentic One instance, you decide which operations the agent may call, and any operation you do not add stays out of reach. Because you also control which stored credentials the agent can use, the API key you save is injected only when the agent runs the report operation you permitted. If you add only the report call, that is the sole thing your agent can do with SEMrush.
