Introduction
The similarweb REST API is a library that simplifies the access to the REST API of Similarweb.
Installation

Usage
To use the library, import the SimilarwebApi class and create an instance of it. Then, use the get method to make a request to the API.

api = SimilarwebApi()
response = api.get('website/traffic', domain='example.com', start_date='2020-01-01', end_date='2020-01-31')
The get method returns a SimilarwebResponse object, which contains the API response in various formats. To access the response in a specific format, use one of the following methods:

For example, to convert the response to a DataFrame and display the first 5 rows:
df = response.to_dataframe()
df.head()
