How are API units consumed for SEMrush
Completed past periods won’t be affected when you consult them because the data is already up to date. meaning DashThis is not fetching new data for those periods.
- SEMrush is a paying API based on the number of API units consumed for an account. The consumption of API units occurs as follows:
- when you create a new dashboard with the SEMRush integration;
- when you create or edit a SEMRush widget;
- when you clone an existing dashboard with a SEMrush source;
- when you open the current period of a dashboard (either in Edit or View mode) with SEMRush data. This will only be charged once a day though, and you can view a dashboard multiple times a day without additional costs*;
- when you edit an existing dashboard’s sources to add a SEMrush source.
- A single keyword query will also cost 100 units. Just so you know, the data available with the SEMrush integration is from the Position Tracking tool only.
- To help reduce costs caused by the API unit consumption, DashThis ceases the API requests after 100 results.
- When reordering your widget's results, the sorting will be applied to those first 100 results.
If you're seeing an API Units error for a past date range, you'll need to refresh the data on the widget to display the data correctly.
