What is the IPRoyal Web Scraper API?

Written by Justin

IPRoyal Web Scraper API is an API that collects public web data for you. Instead of running your own scraper with proxies, you send a request to its endpoint with the page, Google search, or image you want, and it sends the content back to you.

Since it’s an API, Web Scraper API has no interface for collecting data. That means you need your own setup to send requests and receive the results, such as a Python or Node.js script, cURL, Postman, or your existing scraper.

Web Scraper API is currently in beta, so you need to request access through the form on the Web Scraper API page using the email address linked to your IPRoyal account. Once you have access, you can buy credits and generate your API token in the IPRoyal dashboard. You pay only for successful requests: each one costs one credit, and failed requests cost nothing.

To get started, follow the Web Scraper API quick-start guide. For more details, see the Web Scraper API documentation.
