Cloud API

Name: webclaw
Author: webclaw

The webclaw Cloud API is a managed service -- no servers to run, no infrastructure to maintain. Sign up, create an API key, and start extracting.

Getting started

Sign up at webclaw.io
Create an API key in the dashboard
Send requests to https://api.webclaw.io

Authentication

All cloud requests require an API key in the Authorization header. Keys are prefixed with wc_ for easy identification.

curl

curl -X POST https://api.webclaw.io/v1/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer wc_live_abc123def456" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'

Base URL

https://api.webclaw.io

All REST API endpoints documented in this site are available under this base URL.

Rate limits

Rate limits are based on your plan tier and measured in pages per billing period.

Plan	Pages / month	Price
Free	500	$0
Starter	10,000	$19/mo
Pro	100,000	$49/mo
Scale	500,000	$199/mo

Note

A "page" is one URL processed by any endpoint. A batch request with 10 URLs counts as 10 pages. Crawl pages are counted as they complete. Map requests count as 1 page regardless of how many URLs are discovered.

Usage tracking

Monitor your usage in real time from the dashboard at webclaw.io/dashboard/usage. The dashboard shows:

Pages consumed in the current billing period
Remaining quota
Historical usage by day
Breakdown by endpoint

Billing

Billing periods are calendar months. Your page quota resets on the 1st of each month at 00:00 UTC. Unused pages do not roll over. Upgrades take effect immediately and prorate the cost for the remainder of the current period.
