Authenticate once

Send your API key with the documented header and keep requests consistent across services.

Query with examples

Start from the curl and HTTP samples, then map the parameters into your application code.

Operate and monitor

Use status codes, credit costs, and response fields to build retries, logs, and alerts.

Developer kit

Jump from this page into machine-readable docs, request collections, SDKs, or agent tooling.

OpenAPI schema

Generate clients or inspect every request and response shape.

Postman collection

Import ready-made requests for manual testing and team handoff.

SDKs and CLI

Use maintained packages and command-line workflows instead of writing boilerplate.

How many credits does it cost?

10 credits per capture. Blocked or failed pages are refunded.
