3

Make your first call

Pass your key in the Authorization: Bearer header and call any endpoint at https://api.zapfetch.com.
curl -X POST https://api.zapfetch.com/v1/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ZAPFETCH_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "url": "https://example.com", "formats": ["markdown"] }'

​
Firecrawl compatible

ZapFetch is wire-compatible with the Firecrawl API — both /v1/* and /v2/* endpoints. If you use the firecrawl-py or @mendable/firecrawl-js SDK, you only need to change the api_url parameter. See the migration guide for the three-step walkthrough.
ZapFetch API keys are UUID strings, not fc- prefixed Firecrawl Cloud keys. If your code validates the fc- prefix, relax that check before switching.
