Getting Started
Quickstart
Run your first scraper from the console and the API in minutes.
1. Create an account
Sign up for free. Every account starts with 200 free credits — no credit card required.
2. Run from the console
Open the Store, choose a scraper, fill in the input form, and click Run. You'll be taken to the run page where logs stream in live and results appear in the dataset as they're scraped.
3. Get an API key
Go to Console → Settings → API Keys and create a key. It looks like:
hs_live_a1b2c3d4e5f6...
Store it securely — it's shown only once.
4. Run from the API
Start a run and wait up to 120 seconds for it to finish:
curl -X POST \
"https://hyperscrape.com/api/v1/scrapers/website-content-crawler/runs?waitForFinish=120" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HYPERSCRAPE_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "startUrls": ["https://example.com"], "maxPages": 10 }'
The response includes a datasetItemsUrl. Fetch the results:
curl "https://hyperscrape.com/api/v1/datasets/DATASET_ID/items?format=json" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HYPERSCRAPE_API_KEY"
