Context API

Searches live and historical company news for one company, identified in searchBy by name, domain, ticker (optionally disambiguated by exchange), or ISIN. Results can be filtered by publisher domain, publisher country, article language, article type, and published-at date, and include stable story IDs, source metadata, verified entity relevance, and cursor pagination.

Converts raw text, source code, web/data, PDF, Microsoft Office, and image bytes into LLM-usable Markdown.

Scrapes the given URL and returns the raw HTML content of the page. The base request costs 1 credit; requests with browser actions cost 2 credits.

Scrapes the given URL into LLM usable Markdown. Inspect key_metadata on JSON responses from a recognized API key; use error_code to distinguish stable failure categories. ### YouTube YouTube URLs return the video or channel itself rather than the surrounding player and navigation chrome. A URL addressing a single video (`/watch`, `youtu.be`, `/shorts`, `/embed`, `/live`) returns its title, channel, duration, view count, keywords, full description, and the transcript when the video has captions that can be retrieved; videos without captions return everything except the transcript. A channel URL (`/channel/UC…`, `/@handle`, `/c/…`, `/user/…`) returns its name, handle, subscriber count, video count, and full description. When `includeImages=true`, video responses also include the thumbnail and channel responses include the avatar. Costs the same as any other scrape. ### Billing & errors | HTTP status | Billed? | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | 200 | Yes — 1 credit, or 2 credits with actions | Successful scrape, including a zero-length result when includeSelectors matched nothing | | 400 | No | Invalid input, skipped PDF, or the page could not be scraped. error_code WEBSITE_BLOCKED specifically means the site answered with an anti-bot challenge, CAPTCHA wall, or login shell instead of the page (even when the site returned HTTP 200) — retrying later or from another country sometimes succeeds | | 401 / 403 | No | Invalid/disabled key, insufficient permissions, or credits exhausted; inspect error_code | | 404 | No | Target page returned or fingerprinted as not found | | 408 | No | Request timed out | | 413 | No | Target content exceeds the maximum supported size (20 MB) | | 415 | No | Unsupported content type | | 429 | No | Per-minute rate limit exceeded; honor Retry-After | | 500 | No | Internal error |

Extract image assets from a web page, including standard URLs, inline SVGs, data URIs, responsive image sources, metadata, CSS backgrounds, video posters, and embeds. The base request costs 1 credit, or 2 credits with browser actions. When enrichment is enabled, the entire call costs 5 credits, including requests that also use actions.

Crawl an entire website's sitemap and return all discovered page URLs. Pass `search` to have the crawled sitemap filtered down to the pages about a phrase (for example `pricing and plans` or `api authentication docs`), most relevant first — a searched crawl scans the whole sitemap and costs 2 credits instead of 1.

Signal that you may fetch brand data for a particular domain soon to improve latency.

Signal that you may fetch brand data for a particular domain soon to improve latency. This endpoint accepts an email address, extracts the domain from it, validates that it's not a disposable or free email provider, and queues the domain for prefetching.

Signal that you may fetch data soon to improve latency. The type field selects what to prefetch ('brand' queues a brand data fetch, 'styleguide' queues a styleguide extraction) and identifier carries exactly one lookup key: a domain, or an email whose domain is extracted and validated (free email providers and disposable email addresses are not allowed).

Lists monitors for the authenticated organization. Supports free-text search (`q` over `search_by` fields, `prefix` or `exact` via `search_type`) plus status/type/tag filters. Results are paginated via the opaque `cursor`.

Creates a monitor. The request body is a union of the supported target/change detection combinations. The monitor runs immediately after creation to create its initial baseline.

Get a monitor

Updates a monitor. If `target` or `change_detection` changes, the monitor creates a new baseline. Unsupported target/change detection combinations are rejected.

Delete a monitor

List monitor runs

Fetches one run for a monitor, including lifecycle status, timing, credits charged, and any detected change.

List changes for a monitor

Returns an account-wide feed of monitor runs across all monitors.

Returns credits charged per monitor over an optional [since, until] window, newest spenders first.

Returns how many monitors the account has and the maximum it allows.

Returns an account-wide feed of detected changes across monitors.

Get a change

Triggers an immediate run of the monitor outside its normal schedule. The run is queued and processed asynchronously.

Generates a new signing secret for the monitor's webhook and returns the updated monitor (including the new `webhook.secret`). The previous secret stops signing deliveries immediately, so update your endpoint before rotating.

Returns your WebDB collections.

Creates a collection and queues its first sync. Use the preview endpoint first to test extraction.

Returns one WebDB collection.

Changes collection settings. New extraction rules apply on future syncs.

Deletes a collection and all data stored for it.

Permanently deletes matching rows, change history, and saved pages.

Filters and sorts collection rows. Use `next_cursor` to load more results.

Returns recent runs for a collection.

Returns pages that did not become rows and explains why.

Returns row changes for a collection, newest first.

Returns one row and links to its latest saved page.

Deletes a row. Set `purge=true` to also delete its history and saved pages.

Returns changes for one row, newest first.

Redirects to the latest saved page in HTML or Markdown.

Returns the status and results of one collection run.

Returns your WebDB webhooks.

Creates a webhook for row and run events. Use the returned secret to verify signatures.

Returns one WebDB webhook.

Changes a WebDB webhook.

Deletes a WebDB webhook.

Returns delivery attempts for a webhook, newest first.

Tests extraction on up to 5 URLs without creating a collection. Each URL costs 1 credit.

Scrape 25K URLs or crawl large websites asynchronously.

List your batches from newest to oldest. Filter by status or continue with a cursor.

Check progress, and get download links once the batch finishes.

Permanently delete a finished batch and its stored results. Active batches must settle first.
