INTEGRATION · NODE.JS

Find competitors with Node.js

Get the top 100 competitors, look-alikes, and similar companies for any domain in Node.js — ranked with match scores, relationship types, and confidence, powered by SimilarIQ's AI research engine. One key, ~60 seconds to first result.

Quick start

npm install similariq-sdk
const {{ SimilarIQ }} = require("similariq-sdk");
const iq = new SimilarIQ({{ apiKey: process.env.SIMILARIQ_API_KEY }});

const {{ competitors }} = await iq.search("salesforce.com");
console.log(competitors[0]);
// {{ rank: 1, company: 'HubSpot', domain: 'hubspot.com',
//   matchScore: 97, type: 'Direct', confidence: 94, likelyCompetitor: true }}

Prefer no dependency at all? The API is one fetch away:

const res = await fetch("https://similariq.ai/api/v1/search", {{
  method: "POST",
  headers: {{ "X-API-Key": process.env.SIMILARIQ_API_KEY, "Content-Type": "application/json" }},
  body: JSON.stringify({{ domain: "salesforce.com", limit: 100 }}),
}});
const {{ competitors }} = await res.json();

Frequently asked questions

What does SimilarIQ return for a domain?

The top 100 competitors, look-alikes, and similar companies for any company website — each with a 0-100 match score, relationship type (Direct, Indirect, Adjacent, Emerging), a confidence score, and a likely-competitor flag. Results come from SimilarIQ's proprietary AI research engine, cross-validated across multiple intelligence sources.

How much does it cost?

1 credit per search (up to 100 results). Credits come with plans from $6/month ($0.10-$0.24 per search) or pay-as-you-go at $0.50 per search. Free trial searches on signup. Failed searches auto-refund, and reading past results is always free.

How do I get an API key?

Sign up at similariq.ai, then create a key under API Keys in the app. The same sk-live- key works for the REST API, SDKs, CLI, and MCP server.

How long does a search take in Node.js?

30-60 seconds — the engine researches the domain live across multiple intelligence sources and cross-validates before ranking. Set your HTTP timeout to at least 120 seconds, or use the bulk endpoints for large lists.
