How It Works

Regardless of language, the FastWebScraper API follows the same flow:

Sync Mode

Send a request, wait for the scrape to complete, get the HTML back in one response. Simple and direct.

POST /v1/scrape/sync

Async Mode

Submit a scrape job, get a job ID back instantly, then poll for results. Best for batch processing.

POST /v1/scrape/async → GET /v1/jobs/:id

Authentication

All API requests require your API key in the X-API-Key header. Your key is available in the dashboard after signing up.
