The Web Scraping API lets you scrape any public web page without handling proxies, headless browsers, or captchas. You send a URL, and we return the raw page content and optionally parsed data.

​
Get Your API Key

Sign in at hasdata.com, go to your account settings, and copy your API key. All requests must include your key in the x-api-key header.

​
Make Your First Request

  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

Maximum page load time is restricted to 300 seconds. In cases where a request fails after 300 seconds, you will not be charged for the unsuccessful request.

​
Add Optional Parameters

You can include additional parameters to control what data is returned:
  • outputFormat – Array of formats to return. Supports: html, text, markdown, json.
  • screenshot – Set to true to include a screenshot of the rendered page.
  • extractLinks – Set to true to extract all hyperlinks from the page.
  • extractEmails – Set to true to extract all email addresses found on the page.

​
Proxy Configuration

To scrape content with location-specific views or bypass stricter anti-bot systems, you can configure proxies:
  • proxyType – Choose proxy type. Options: residential, datacenter.
  • proxyCountry – Set a specific country for the proxy. Use ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format (e.g. US, DE, IN).
That’s it. You’re ready to start scraping. For advanced usage and all parameters, see the API Params section.
