    Quickstart

    Go from zero to your first scrape in under 5 minutes. Get your API key, make a request, and integrate with your stack.

    Your First Scrape

    All you need is an API key. Grab one from your dashboard, then run one of these:

    Bash
    curl -X POST https://api.alterlab.io/api/v1/scrape \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'
    Try in Playground

    That's it!

    If you see HTML content in the response, you're ready to go. AlterLab auto-selects the best scraping tier for each site — no configuration needed.
