semrush-cli

Requires Node.js 22 or newer. The npm package includes Galleton binaries for Linux x64/arm64, macOS x64/arm64 and Windows x64. No Python or Go installation is needed.

npm install -g semrush-cli
semrush-cli setup
semrush-cli auth login
semrush-cli domain-overview --domain openai.com --json

setup installs Chromium and starts a private, authenticated Galleton daemon at 127.0.0.1:8768. It stores encrypted credentials under ~/.local/share/semrush-cli/galleton. On Linux, Chromium may need system libraries. Install them with npx patchright install-deps chromium if the browser fails to launch.

auth login opens a browser. Complete Semrush sign-in there. The CLI verifies your session, stores it in Galleton, and closes the window. It does not ask for your password in the terminal.

On a headless host with an existing signed-in browser, see authentication.
