Quickstart
This guide will get you all set up and ready to use the Protocol API. We'll cover how to get started using one of our API clients and how to make your first API request. We'll also look at where to go next to find all the information you need to take full advantage of our powerful REST API.
Before you can make requests to the Protocol API, you will need to grab your API key from your dashboard. You find it under Settings » API.
Choose your client
Before making your first API request, you can use cURL to send HTTP requests. In the following example, you’ll see how to set up and make requests using cURL.
# cURL is most likely already installed on your machine
curl --version
Making your first API request
Below is an example that demonstrates how to send a request to scrape article content.
curl -X 'GET' \
'https://api.autoscraper.pro/v1/scraper/content?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2F' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}'
What's next?
Great, you're now set up with an API client and have made your first request to the API. Here are a few links that might be handy as you venture further into the Protocol API:
