# Basic Request If your scraping request was successful, the API will respond with the raw HTML data of your target web page URL. If you have enabled HTTP headers, your API response will also contain the HTTP headers sent along with your original API request. ### Custom Response Headers If you inspect your API response headers, you will notice some custom headers that will give you more details about the request you made. | Header | Description | | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- | | WSA-Client-Cookies | Javascript-generated cookies after the target website is loaded | | WSA-Scraped-Headers | The response headers of the scraped URL | | WSA-Scraped-Resolved-Url | The final scraped URL (in case of redirects) | | WSA-Call-Credit-Usage | The credit usage for a request | | WSA-Current-Credit-Usage | Your total credit usage after you make the request | ### Basic Request examples The API request below is the simplest invocation that you can make by specifying the URL only. > **`GET https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com`** **⇡ Input** {% tabs %} {% tab title="cURL" %} ```url curl --request GET --url "https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com" ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="NodeJS" %} ```javascript const http = require("https"); const options = { "method": "GET", "hostname": "scrape.shifter.io" "port": null, "path": "/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com", "headers": {} }; const req = http.request(options, function (res) { const chunks = []; res.on("data", function (chunk) { chunks.push(chunk); }); res.on("end", function () { const body = Buffer.concat(chunks); console.log(body.toString()); }); }); req.end(); ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Python" %} ```python import http.client conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("scrape.shifter.io") conn.request("GET", "/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com") res = conn.getresponse() data = res.read() print(data.decode("utf-8")) ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="PHP" %} ```php "https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com", CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET", ]); $response = curl_exec($curl); $err = curl_error($curl); curl_close($curl); if ($err) { echo "cURL Error #:" . $err; } else { echo $response; } ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Golang" %} ```go package main import ( "fmt" "net/http" "io/ioutil" ) func main() { url := "https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com" req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil) res, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req) defer res.Body.Close() body, _ := ioutil.ReadAll(res.Body) fmt.Println(res) fmt.Println(string(body)) ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Java" %} ```java HttpResponse response = Unirest.get("https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com") ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title=".NET" %} ``` var client = new RestClient("https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com") var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET); IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request); ``` {% endtab %} {% tab title="Ruby" %} ```ruby require 'uri' require 'net/http' require 'openssl' url = URI("https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://example.com") http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port) http.use_ssl = true http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url) response = http.request(request) puts response.read_body ``` {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} **⇣ Output** ``` Example Domain
