Every example uses your UUID-style ZapFetch API key and talks to https://api.zapfetch.com.

​
Scrape a single URL

Fetch a single page and get back clean markdown or structured content. 
curl -X POST https://api.zapfetch.com/v1/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPFETCH_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "formats": ["markdown"]
  }'

​
Crawl a whole site

Start a crawl, then poll for completion. Crawls are billed per page fetched. 
# Kick off the crawl — returns a job id.
curl -X POST https://api.zapfetch.com/v1/crawl \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPFETCH_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://docs.example.com",
    "limit": 50
  }'

# Check status and retrieve pages.
curl https://api.zapfetch.com/v1/crawl/JOB_ID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPFETCH_KEY"

​
Search the web

Run a web search and optionally scrape each result in the same call. 
curl -X POST https://api.zapfetch.com/v1/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPFETCH_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "best vector databases 2026",
    "limit": 5,
    "scrapeOptions": { "formats": ["markdown"] }
  }'

​
Map a site

Discover every reachable URL on a domain without fetching the content. 
curl -X POST https://api.zapfetch.com/v1/map \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPFETCH_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://docs.example.com",
    "limit": 500
  }'

​
Extract structured data

Let an LLM pull typed fields straight out of one or more pages. Give it a JSON Schema and ZapFetch handles fetching, parsing, and inference. 
curl -X POST https://api.zapfetch.com/v1/extract \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ZAPFETCH_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "urls": ["https://news.ycombinator.com"],
    "prompt": "Extract the top 5 story titles with their points and author.",
    "schema": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "stories": {
          "type": "array",
          "items": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
              "title":  { "type": "string" },
              "points": { "type": "integer" },
              "author": { "type": "string" }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }'
