Web API

What it does

Web API takes a target website URL plus optional parameters such as location, language, headers, or target-specific settings, and returns the page as raw HTML, clean Markdown, parsed structured JSON, or a screenshot. Its Scrape endpoint handles page fetching, proxy rotation, and optional JavaScript rendering so you receive usable content rather than a raw page. A companion /search endpoint works under the same API key.

Teams commonly use it to feed AI agents and retrieval pipelines, or to monitor pricing pages, product listings, and documents at volume. Pre-configured targets such as Google, Amazon, and Walmart return target-specific output. Agents can connect through MCP or Agent Skills, and Python and Go SDKs are available alongside code samples in several languages.

Designed for developers, data teams, and enterprises that need large-scale extraction from public pages. A $5 welcome credit with sign-up and an API key lets you start testing; ongoing use is metered per 1K results and billed through a single subscription. Self-service purchases are non-refundable, and you must limit collection to publicly available data in line with Oxylabs' Acceptable Use Policy.
