traffic — How much search traffic a website gets — openbash
Estimated monthly Google organic visits for up to 1,000 domains at once, with the month and source.
traffic
traffic is a command on the openbash shell, reachable over HTTP, SSH and MCP with one key. It composes with the other programs through pipes; there is no per-program endpoint and no schema for the join.

WHAT THE NUMBER IS
DataForSEO's estimate of monthly visits from Google organic search in one
market (United States unless --location_code says otherwise). A model, not a
counter: it ranks sites against each other well, and says nothing about
direct, paid or social visits. Cite it as an estimate, with the month.
ASK FOR THE WHOLE LIST
Estimates change monthly and are held for everyone, so a domain asked about
this month already is answered from store. Domains not held are bought
together in one request — one call with two hundred domains costs a small
fraction of two hundred calls.
NULL IS AN ANSWER
`monthly_visits: null` means DataForSEO has nothing for the domain: almost
always a very small site. It is not an error, and asking again this month
returns the same null.

JSON to stdout, so it composes: pipe to `jq` to pick a field, or `> /tmp/…` to keep it.
Run a study with no arguments — `traffic estimate` — to see what it takes.
