PUT Requests

(BETA) Now it is possible to scrape forms or API endpoints directly. You can do this by sending a PUT request to Shifter's Web Scraping API with your api_key and URL parameter.

In the right-side box, you will find an example request used to scrape the URL https://httpbin.org/put

PUT Requests examples

  "headers": {}
};

const req = http.request(options, function (res) {
  const chunks = [];

  res.on("data", function (chunk) {
    chunks.push(chunk);
  });

  res.on("end", function () {

res = conn.getresponse()
data = res.read()

print(data.decode("utf-8"))
