Quickstart

1. Get your API key

Your API key looks like pp_live_... and can be found under Applications > API Keys in the dashboard.

2. Make your first request

Send a POST request to the scrape endpoint with a URL:

cURL

curl -X POST https://api.pagepry.com/v1/scrape \
  -H "x-api-key: pp_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'

JavaScript (fetch)

const response = await fetch('https://api.pagepry.com/v1/scrape', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'x-api-key': 'pp_live_your_key_here',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://example.com' }),
});

const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.html);

Python (requests)

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.pagepry.com/v1/scrape',
    headers={'x-api-key': 'pp_live_your_key_here'},
    json={'url': 'https://example.com'},
)

data = response.json()
print(data['html'])

3. Inspect the response

A successful response includes the rendered HTML and metadata:

{
  "success": true,
  "html": "<!DOCTYPE html><html>...</html>",
  "metadata": {
    "statusCode": 200,
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "resolvedUrl": "https://example.com/",
    "contentType": "text/html; charset=utf-8",
    "renderStrategy": "ssr-early-return",
    "loadTimeMs": 847,
    "fromCache": false
  }
}

Key fields:

html — the fully rendered page content, including JavaScript-rendered elements
resolvedUrl — the final URL after any redirects
renderStrategy — how PagePry determined the page was ready (e.g., ssr-early-return for server-rendered pages, network-idle for SPAs)
fromCache — if true, this result was served from cache and cost 0 credits
