The response is the fully rendered HTML of the page. ### cURL ```bash theme={null} curl "https://parsing.webunlocker.gologin.com/v1/scrape?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com" \ -H "apikey: YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Python ```python theme={null} import requests response = requests.get( "https://parsing.webunlocker.gologin.com/v1/scrape", params={"url": "https://example.com"}, headers={"apikey": "YOUR_API_KEY"} ) print(response.text) ``` ### JavaScript (Node.js / Browser) ```javascript theme={null} const response = await fetch( "https://parsing.webunlocker.gologin.com/v1/scrape?url=" + encodeURIComponent("https://example.com"), { headers: { apikey: "YOUR_API_KEY" } } ); const html = await response.text(); console.log(html); ``` *** ## What you get back The response body is the raw rendered HTML of the page — the same content you'd see if you opened the URL in a browser. No JSON wrapper, no parsing needed. ```html theme={null} Example Domain ... ``` *** ## Handling errors Check the HTTP status code before processing the response: | Status | Meaning | | ------------- | ---------------------------------------- | | `200` | Success — response body is the page HTML | | `401` | Invalid or missing API key | | `422` | Invalid or missing URL parameter | | `429` | Rate limit exceeded | | `500` / `503` | Server error — retry with backoff | ```python theme={null} response = requests.get( "https://parsing.webunlocker.gologin.com/v1/scrape", params={"url": "https://example.com"}, headers={"apikey": "YOUR_API_KEY"} ) if response.status_code == 200: html = response.text else: print(f"Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}") ``` *** ## Quick start with CLI You can also scrape pages using the Gologin CLI tools without writing code: ### Web Unlocker CLI ```bash theme={null} npm install -g gologin-webunlocker GOLOGIN_WEBUNLOCKER_API_KEY=wu_... gologin-webunlocker scrape https://example.com GOLOGIN_WEBUNLOCKER_API_KEY=wu_... gologin-webunlocker text https://example.com GOLOGIN_WEBUNLOCKER_API_KEY=wu_... gologin-webunlocker markdown https://example.com ``` ### Gologin Web Access CLI (unified) ```bash theme={null} npm install -g gologin-web-access export GOLOGIN_WEB_UNLOCKER_API_KEY="wu_..." gologin-web-access read https://example.com gologin-web-access scrape-json https://example.com gologin-web-access batch-scrape https://example.com/page/1 https://example.com/page/2 --format text ``` See [Web Unlocker SDK and CLI](/scraping-api-sdk-and-cli) and [Web Access CLI](/cli-tools/web-access) for full details.
