Quickstart - Scrapengine API Documentation

Get started in three steps

Start extracting data from websites with Scrapengine’s powerful API.

Step 1: Get your API key

Save your API key

Copy your API key from the dashboard and store it securely. You’ll use this in the Authorization header for all API requests.

Keep your API key private and never commit it to version control.

Step 2: Make your first request

Simple scraping example

Here’s a basic example to scrape a website:

curl -X POST "https://api.scrapengine.io/api/v1/scrape?url=https://www.shopify.com/pricing" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

This will return the HTML content of the Shopify pricing page.

JavaScript example

const response = await fetch('https://api.scrapengine.io/api/v1/scrape?url=https://www.shopify.com/pricing', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
});

const htmlContent = await response.text();
console.log(htmlContent);
