Introduction

Sistrix is a European SEO and SERP analytics platform best known for its Visibility Index (Sichtbarkeitsindex) — a position- and search-volume-weighted score that summarizes a domain’s organic visibility for a given country and device. Beyond visibility, Sistrix covers keyword rankings, competitor analysis, ranking distribution, opportunity keywords, and on-page audit data through its Optimizer projects. The connector reads from the Sistrix REST API and exposes domain-, keyword-, and project-level reports. Country and device are selected per query; the Visibility Index family produces daily time-series data, while most other surfaces return current snapshots. Each data source asset targets a single Sistrix report endpoint, and the metrics and breakdowns available are scoped to that endpoint. As an SEO connector, visibility, ranking, and keyword data are standardized so widgets can present them alongside other sources. To connect this data source, see How to connect Sistrix to Adriel.

Architecture data

Architecture covers the Sistrix account, an optional connected Optimizer project, and the catalog of report endpoints (domain overview, Visibility Index, keyword counts, ranking distribution, competitors, opportunities, ideas, keyword traffic, Optimizer ranking, and Optimizer on-page). The available field set is derived from the selected endpoint.

Reports data

Reports data is delivered through a daily cache. On first connection, the last 90 days of daily reports are backfilled. Thereafter, the latest 10 days are refreshed twice per day, at 12:00 AM UTC and 2:00 PM UTC. Dates older than the rolling 10-day window remain frozen at their originally stored values. The connector uses two cache paths depending on the endpoint. Endpoints that support daily granularity — the Visibility Index family — populate a daily time-series cache. All remaining endpoints (domain overview, competitors, ranking distribution, opportunities, ideas, keyword traffic, and most Optimizer surfaces) are served from a file-based snapshot cache that reflects the most recent crawl Sistrix has published and carries no date breakdown.

Architecture levels

Account → Domain or Optimizer project → Country / Device → Keyword A data source is scoped to a Sistrix account and a target (domain, host, path, or URL) or an Optimizer project. Country and device select the SERP corpus; keyword-level rows are returned by keyword and Optimizer ranking reports.

Metrics

How to read the columnsCode style like value is the literal Sistrix API field name. Italic text describes how a value is produced when it doesn’t map cleanly to a single Sistrix field or when it’s computed by Adriel. In the field picker, every field carries a sistrix: prefix (for example sistrix:value); the raw field name is shown here.Because each asset targets a single report endpoint, the available metrics depend on which endpoint the data source is configured for — several endpoints reuse the generic value field for their headline metric.Data type vocabulary: Number, Currency, Percentage, Ratio, Duration, Date, Text, URL, Array, Boolean.

Breakdowns

How to read the columnsCode style like keyword is the literal Sistrix API field name. Italic text describes how a value is produced when it doesn’t map cleanly to a single Sistrix field. Only one breakdown can be applied per query, and the available breakdowns depend on the endpoint the data source targets.

Limitations

Based on the current connector, Sistrix has:
  • Endpoint-scoped fields — each data source asset targets a single Sistrix report endpoint, and the available metrics and breakdowns are limited to that endpoint’s field set with no overlap guarantee across endpoints.
  • One breakdown per query — requesting more than one breakdown at a time is rejected.
  • Country and device required for most reports — most domain and keyword reports require a country and device; changing either returns a different result set because the underlying SERP corpus changes.
  • Daily time-series only for the Visibility Index family — Visibility Index endpoints produce daily time-series; domain overview, competitors, ranking distribution, opportunities, ideas, keyword traffic, and most Optimizer endpoints return a current snapshot with no date breakdown.
  • 90-day initial history, 10-day refresh window — first connection backfills 90 days of daily data; only the latest 10 days are refreshed thereafter, and older dates remain frozen at their stored values.
  • Credit-based consumption — Sistrix bills API usage by credits (Sistrix API documentation); when credits are exhausted a QUOTA_EXCEEDED error is raised and the connector does not auto-retry. The standalone SEM keyword-count report was removed to limit credit use (SEM keyword count remains available through the domain overview).
  • Deprecated domain age — the domain-age report is deprecated upstream and may return - instead of a numeric value.
  • Social endpoints unavailable — Sistrix’s domain.social.* surfaces are not provisioned by the connector.
  • Generic data source — Sistrix data is presented in a generic table and cannot be natively combined with other connector types unless they share identical breakdowns; cross-connector analysis requires data-blending settings.
