Before you begin
To connect Supermetrics to Semrush Projects, you need an API account, an API key, and a Semrush subscription for API request units. Learn more about Semrush accounts and API request units.
Each API call has a cost, and the cost of requests is measured in API units. Units are determined by the type of report or request retrieved from the Semrush API, and fetching historical data requires more units than live data. One US dollar is equal to approximately 20,000 API units.
