[SEMrush](https://help.dashthis.com/integrations?hsLang=en#semrush) # How to connect with SEMrush ## SEMrush is an amazing digital marketing tool, useful for tracking plenty of metrics within the realms of SEO, PPC, and more.   ***Note:** To access their API, you need to have a **Business Plan with SEMrush**. In addition, SEMrush requires you to have **API units available** in order to call their API; you will be charged API units anytime DashThis fetches your SEMrush data. Even if you don’t have access to the SEMrush API at the moment, you can still incorporate SEMrush data into your dashboards using our [CSV file manager.](https://help.dashthis.com/how-to-add-a-csv-file-to-a-dashboard?hsLang=en)* ### Integrate SEMrush to DashThis **Permissions:** To successfully connect SEMrush to DashThis, you should be the owner or admin of the account. Should you need more information about users and permissions, please go to SEMrush's [help center](https://www.semrush.com/kb/317-where-can-i-manage-my-users#:~:text=Users%20can%20be%20added%20to,Users\)%20option%20under%20My%20Profile.).   **How to connect SEMrush to Dashthis:** There are four parts to complete in order to connect DashThis to SEMrush API. ### Part 1. Get your API Key - Login to your [SEMrush account](https://www.semrush.com/dashboard/). - Click your profile in the top right corner, then click My Profile. - Go to the API Keys tab. DashThis needs your **Version 3 key**. The API Keys page lists your keys with a Version column. Copy the one tagged v3. A v4 key starts with *semrtkn-pat-* and does not work with DashThis. If you added a v4 key by mistake, your SEMrush projects will not show up. Add a new SEMrush connection with your Version 3 key instead of editing the existing one, then add your SEMrush source again.   **\*The V3 API key is only available with a SEO Classic Business or Semrush One Advanced Plan with SEMrush.** ![](https://help.dashthis.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-04-2026-02-09-07-3202-PM.png?width=670&height=297&name=image-png-Sep-04-2026-02-09-07-3202-PM.png) - Copy your Version 3 key, you will need to use it in DashThis. #### Part. 2 Add the integration **Step 1** - Go to DashThis and click on the [integrations page](https://dashthis.com/app/admin/Authorizations/Edit) **Step 2** - Scroll down the list of available integrations and click on ADD + beside SEMrush ![Screenshot 2022-11-08 at 11.34.28 AM](https://help.dashthis.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Breanne%20-%20Help%20Center/Screenshot%202022-11-08%20at%2011.34.28%20AM.png?width=670&height=256&name=Screenshot%202022-11-08%20at%2011.34.28%20AM.png)   **Step 3** - Fill in the credential fields: - Enter your Account Profile ID (top right-hand corner) = My Profile (ID: XXXXXXX) - Enter your API Key - Click on ADD. Part 3. Configure *Position Tracking* Lastly, in order to see your SEMrush project data in DashThis, you need to enable *Position Tracking* for the related project. You can do so by going into [this section](https://www.semrush.com/position-tracking/)of your SEMrush account, and clicking on "set up" in the "Position Tracking" column. For more on configuring position tracking, please visit SEMrush 's [help center.](https://www.semrush.com/kb/548-configuring-position-tracking) Only projects with Position Tracking set up appear in the project list when you add a SEMrush source. If a project is missing, check that Position Tracking is set up with keywords for it. Also make sure the project is in the SEMrush account linked to your API key. Projects from another SEMrush account need their own connection: go to the Integrations page, click ADD + beside SEMrush and enter that account's Version 3 key.   Now you can create reports with SEMrush 🙌 Not sure which data to import? No problem! We created a periodic dashboard template to help you. Simply go to your [Dashboard manager](https://dashthis.com/app/admin/Account/Index) and click on Create Dashboard, search through the periodic templates, and find SEMrush Dashboard.   ![Screenshot 2022-11-08 at 12.05.30 PM](https://help.dashthis.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Breanne%20-%20Help%20Center/Screenshot%202022-11-08%20at%2012.05.30%20PM.png?width=670&height=321&name=Screenshot%202022-11-08%20at%2012.05.30%20PM.png)   ### Should you need any assistance with SEMrush, please reach out to our[Support Team](https://help.dashthis.com/kb-tickets/new?hsLang=en)**🤘** --- What's next: [SEMrush metrics and dimensions](https://help.dashthis.com/semrush-metrics-and-dimensions?hsLang=en) [SEMrush notes/limitations](https://help.dashthis.com/semrush-notes/limitations?hsLang=en)       -
