From request to result

A clear path through the API.

Use familiar HTTPS requests and keep credit use visible at every step.

1. RequestSend a public URL or search query with your API key.

2. FetchDataCrawl applies the selected fetch mode and reports outcomes.

3. ExtractTurn fetched content into text, JSON-LD, or rule-based fields.

4. BuildUse structured responses in your agent or automation.

One request to first result

Start with one HTTPS request.

curl -s https://datacrawl.dev/v1/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"q": "latest EU AI act obligations", "count": 5}'

Full request and response examples are in the API docs. The OpenAPI document is available at /portal/openapi.json.
