WebScrapingAPI is a simple, fast and reliable REST-API that collects the HTML from any web page and provides ready-to-process data whilst managing in the backend all possible blocking points.

Detailed documentation covering usage guides and code examples in different programming languages can be found here: https://docs.webscrapingapi.com/

To authorize your API call, append the api_key parameter to the url: https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key={YOUR_API_KEY}&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.ipify.org

After creating a WebScrapingAPI account, the account dashboard will reveal the unique API access key you can use to authenticate with the API. To do so, simply attach the api_key parameter to the API’s base URL and set it to your API access key.

If your request fails, WebScrapingAPI will return an error in JSON format. You ca find in the documentation an example error that occurs when the API failed scraping the requested URL. If you cannot find it or if any questions remain unanswered, please feel free to contact our technical support team.
