Four live APIs, one OrbitScraper account
OrbitScraper exposes search, extraction, research, and crawl workloads through separate API families. Each product has its own request contract, credits model, and docs path, but they all run on the same platform and API key system.
SERP API
LiveLive search results across four engines through one normalized contract.
Queue live search jobs across Google, Bing, Brave, and DuckDuckGo and consume normalized results from one API contract.
- Endpoint: POST /v1/search
- 1 credit per successful request
- Use markdown=true when you need a prompt-ready rendering of the same SERP.
Extract API
LiveQueue one URL and get structured content back without parsing raw HTML yourself.
Queue a single-page extraction job and poll for normalized content, metadata, and extracted fields.
- Endpoint: POST /v1/extract
- 2 credits per successful request
- Choose output_format to shape the returned content field.
Research API
LiveRun search discovery, fetch sources, and synthesize a cited answer through one async job.
Queue a research job that discovers sources, fetches supporting content, and returns a synthesized summary with source metadata.
- Endpoint: POST /v1/research

Crawl API
LiveCrawl a bounded site section and monitor progress through one queue-backed job.
