Quickstart
from fetchora import ScrapingClient
client = ScrapingClient() # SCRAPING_API_KEY read from env
page = client.scrape("https://example.com")
print(page["result"]["markdown"])
import asyncio
from fetchora import AsyncScrapingClient
async def main():
async with AsyncScrapingClient() as client:
page = await client.scrape("https://example.com")
print(page["result"]["markdown"])
asyncio.run(main())
