ScraperAPI Python SDK

Install

pip install scraperapi-sdk

Usage

from scraperapi_sdk import ScraperAPIClient

client = ScraperAPIClient("<API-KEY>")

# regular get request
content = client.get('https://amazon.com/')
# get request with premium
content = client.get('https://amazon.com/', params={'premium': True})

# post request
content = client.post('https://webhook.site/403e44ce-5835-4ce9-a648-188a51d9395d', headers={'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}, data={'field1': 'data1'})

# put request
content = client.put('https://webhook.site/403e44ce-5835-4ce9-a648-188a51d9395d', headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, data={'field1': 'data1'})

The content variable will contain the scraped page.

If you want to get the Response object instead of the content you can use make_request.

response = client.make_request(url='https://webhook.site/403e44ce-5835-4ce9-a648-188a51d9395d', headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, data={'field1': 'data1'})
# response will be <Response [200]>

Exception

from scraperapi_sdk import ScraperAPIClient
from scraperapi_sdk.exceptions import ScraperAPIException

client = ScraperAPIClient(
    api_key=api_key,
)
try:
    result = client.post('https://webhook.site/403e44ce-5835-4ce9-a648-188a51d9395d', headers={'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}, data={'field1': 'data1'})
    _ = result
except ScraperAPIException as e:
    print(e.original_exception)  # you can access the original exception via `.original_exception` property.

scrapyGet

To prepare a URL for scrapy you can use client.scrapyGet method.

client.scrapyGet(url,
          headers={"header1": "value1"},
          country_code="us",
          premium=False,
          render=True,
          session_number=2772728518147,
          autoparse=None,
          )

All of the parameters except url are optional.

Full example:

import scrapy
import os
from pathlib import Path
from scraperapi_sdk import ScraperAPIClient

client = ScraperAPIClient(
    api_key=os.getenv("SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY"),
)
class ExampleSpider(scrapy.Spider):
    name = ""

    async def start(self):
        urls = [
            "https://example.com/",
        ]
        for url in urls:
            yield scrapy.Request(url=client.scrapyGet(url, render=True, ), callback=self.parse)

    def parse(self, response):
        page = response.url.split("/")[-2]
        filename = f"example-{page}.html"
        Path(filename).write_bytes(response.body)
        self.log(f"Saved file {filename}")

Async Scraping

Basic scraping:

from scraperapi_sdk import ScraperAPIAsyncClient, ScraperAPIException

client = ScraperAPIAsyncClient(api_key)
request_id = None
# request async scraping
try:
    job = client.create('https://example.com')
    request_id = job.get('id')
except ScraperAPIException as e:
    print(e.original_exception)

# if job was submitted successfully we can request the result of scraping 

if request_id:
    result = client.get(request_id)

Webhook Callback

from scraperapi_sdk import ScraperAPIAsyncClient, ScraperAPIException

client = ScraperAPIAsyncClient(api_key)
request_id = None
# request async scraping
try:
    job = client.create('https://example.com', webhook_url="https://webhook.site/#!/view/c4facc6e-c028-4d9c-9f58-b14c92a381fe")
    request_id = job.get('id')
except ScraperAPIException as e:
    print(e.original_exception)

# if job was submitted successfully we can request the result of scraping 

if request_id:
    result = client.get(request_id)

Wait for results

You can use wait method which will poll ScraperAPI for result until its ready.

Use client.wait

Arguments: request_id (required): ID returned from client.create call cooldown (optional, default=5): number of seconds between retries max_retries (optional, default=10): Maximum number of retries raise_for_exceeding_max_retries (optional, default=False): If True will raise exception when reached max_retries, else returns the response from the API.

from scraperapi_sdk import ScraperAPIAsyncClient, ScraperAPIException

client = ScraperAPIAsyncClient(api_key)
request_id = None
# request async scraping
try:
    job = client.create('https://example.com')
    request_id = job.get('id')
except ScraperAPIException as e:
    print(e.original_exception)

# if job was submitted successfully we can request the result of scraping 

if request_id:
    result = client.wait(
        request_id,
        cooldown=5,
        max_retries=10,
        raise_for_exceeding_max_retries=False,
