Scrape Sonic API Documentation

Scrape Sonic is a powerful web scraping API that provides high-quality data extraction capabilities.

Fast response times

Our performance outperforms most if not all of the current APIs by leveraging state-of-the-art technologies, such as custom trained Large AI Language Models and one of the fastest API frameworks: FastAPI, to provide a speedy and efficient web scraping service.

Moreover, we utilize low level c++ libraries, which enable it to perform advanced web scraping operations in less time than normal.

Premium Residential US Proxies

Scrape Sonic uses premium residential US proxies for web scraping, assuring access to hard-to-scrape websites and the most updated data. Though this increases the API cost, but it dramatically boosts data accuracy and reliability.

Reducing Cost

To maximize cost-effectiveness, leverage client-side caching. By storing and reusing previous responses, you significantly cut down on redundant API requests, effectively reducing the overall API expense. This approach works best for frequent or repetitive data requests.

Endpoint

Our main endpoint is /extract. This endpoint allows you to pass in a URL of a webpage, along with specific data fields you wish to scrape from that page.

GET /extract

This endpoint retrieves information from a given URL.

Parameters:

• url (required): The URL of the page you want to scrape. This parameter should be a valid URL.
• scrape_feilds (required): A comma-separated list of the data fields you want to scrape from the website.

Example:

https://ai-powered-fast-data-scraping.p.rapidapi.com/extract?url=https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-4-4gb.html&scrape_feilds=product_title,product_price

In this example, we’re scraping the title, and price from the page at https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-4-4gb.html.

Response:

{ "product_price": 55.00, "product_name": "Pi 4 4GB Board Only" }

The API returns a JSON object containing the requested fields and their corresponding data extracted from the website. If the API can’t find any data for a particular field, it returns null for that field.

In case of an error (e.g., if url or scrapeFields parameters are not provided), the API returns an error message with the HTTP status code 400.
