Choose an Access Path

DataBee APIs are available through the Direct Gateway or RapidAPI Hub. Both routes reach the same API contract; choose one based on where you want to manage keys, billing, and quotas.

Recommended for new integrations

Use the Direct Gateway at https://api.databee.dev. It offers the lowest-friction setup, free credits, credit rollover, and direct support. RapidAPI details are included below for teams already standardized on that marketplace.

Direct Portal Access (Developer DataBee)

• Base URL: https://api.databee.dev
• Developer Console: https://console.databee.dev
• Authentication: Generate a free API key at https://console.databee.dev and pass via Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DATABEE_API_KEY.

---

RapidAPI Access

If you prefer to integrate via RapidAPI, use the trademark-free SiteAtlas listing:

SiteAtlas API (siteatlas.p.rapidapi.com)

• Base URL: https://siteatlas.p.rapidapi.com
• Host Header: x-rapidapi-host: siteatlas.p.rapidapi.com

Legacy listing

The similarweb-api-pro.p.rapidapi.com listing is retained for existing integrations only and may be removed by RapidAPI because of trademark policies. Similarweb has previously taken down API listings for trademark-related reasons, so this is a long-term availability risk even if you already use that listing's v2 endpoints. Do not start new integrations against it; migrate to siteatlas.p.rapidapi.com when possible.

For endpoint and response-shape changes, see the v1 to v2 migration guide.

RapidAPI Specific Request Headers

When calling via RapidAPI, include the RapidAPI proxy headers (x-rapidapi-host and x-rapidapi-key):

x-rapidapi-host: siteatlas.p.rapidapi.com
x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY

Legacy authentication

Some older marketplace routes also require Authorization: Bearer YOUR_DATABEE_API_KEY. If you maintain an existing legacy integration, keep that header until you migrate; new SiteAtlas subscriptions should use the RapidAPI headers above.

Legacy RapidAPI listing (migration only)

Existing users of similarweb-api-pro.p.rapidapi.com can continue using its current base URL and host header while migrating. The response body is the same as the SiteAtlas listing, but the listing itself is not recommended for new work.
