Website Traffic Checker — CLI Skill

Estimate any website's monthly visits, primary traffic channels, and geographic distribution through the vernclaw-cli.

When to Use

• Estimate competitor or prospect website traffic
• Identify primary traffic channels (organic, direct, referral, social, paid)
• Analyze geographic distribution of visitors
• Benchmark traffic before and after marketing campaigns

Prerequisites

npm i -g vernclaw-connect-cli

Authentication

Before using this skill, verify you are authenticated:

vernclaw-cli status

If not authenticated, run:

vernclaw-cli login
# or for CI/CD:
vernclaw-cli login --api-key YOUR_KEY

Generate an API key at vernclaw.com/settings/connectors.

Invocation

# Global traffic estimate
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.website-traffic --domain example.com

# Traffic for a specific market
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.website-traffic --domain example.com --market US

# Multiple domains
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.website-traffic --domain example.com,competitor.com

Parameters

| Flag | Required | Description | | ---------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | | --domain | Yes | One or more domains to query (comma-separated) | | --market | No | Country/region code to filter traffic data (e.g. US, UK, CN) |

Output

The invoke command prints compact JSON to stdout by default:

{"status":200,"data":{}}

• Parse the numeric status first; 2xx means the request succeeded or was accepted, and non-2xx means the agent should inspect the error payload.
• data contains a normalized summary with fields such as:
  • estimated_monthly_visits — total visitor estimate
  • top_country — country contributing most traffic
  • primary_channel — dominant traffic source
  • traffic_trends — growth or decline indicators (when available)
• --pretty is for human-readable terminal output only; do not parse it programmatically.
• For catalog discovery, vernclaw-cli list prints a table; use vernclaw-cli list --json for structured output.
• The CLI omits provider raw payloads from normal connector output.

Execution mode: synchronous (results returned immediately).

Workflow

# 1. Check authentication
vernclaw-cli status

# 2. Check competitor traffic
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.website-traffic --domain competitor.com

# 3. Compare multiple competitors
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.website-traffic --domain site1.com,site2.com,site3.com

# 4. Drill into a specific market
vernclaw-cli invoke seo.website-traffic --domain competitor.com --market US
