Scraping API
Google Search API, Amazon Scraper, and TikTok Scraper.
Which scrapers belong to Scraping API?
Google Search API, Amazon Scraper, and TikTok Scraper are source-specific entry points under Scraping API. Choose the source before selecting an action or input schema.
How do I use Amazon Scraper or TikTok Scraper?
Open the Amazon Scraper guide or TikTok Scraper guide, select the operation you need, and follow its inputs and output guide. Start with one item or request before increasing volume.
Where do I find Google Search API?
Use the Google Search API guide for search data. Follow its search parameters and output definitions when building your request and parsing the result.
Do all scrapers use the same inputs and results?
No. Check the selected scraper’s contract before reusing request code or a parser. An actor identifier, action, input object, and returned fields must match that operation.
Why did I receive a task identifier?
For the documented generic Scraping API workflow, HTTP 200 returns data directly and 201 returns a task to poll. Keep its taskId and retrieve the existing task’s result. Other endpoints may have different contracts; follow the selected scraper’s reference.
How often should I poll?
The generic task workflow recommends 1–5 seconds between polls. Add an overall timeout or attempt limit. Do not apply that interval to another API without checking its guide.
What should I do after a rate-limit response?
Reduce request frequency and concurrent work, and inspect the endpoint’s limits. Avoid immediately resubmitting at the same rate. For capacity planning, send expected volume and concurrency to support.
Why are some fields absent from a result?
Check the action’s output definition and the source content for that request. Treat optional fields as optional. Include a redacted payload, result, and expected field when reporting a reproducible discrepancy.
Is Amazon Scraper part of AI Scraper?
Amazon Scraper is under Scraping API. Amazon Alexa is a separate AI Scraper engine entry. Select by the data you want to collect, not only the Amazon name.
