# 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

> **`PUT https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https://httpbin.org/put`**

**⇡ Input**

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```url
curl --request PUT --url "https://scrape.shifter.io/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhttpbin.org%2Fput" --data "{
  "foo": "bar"
}"
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="NodeJS" %}

```javascript
const http = require("https");

const options = {
  "method": "PUT",
  "hostname": "scrape.shifter.io",
  "port": null,
  "path": "/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhttpbin.org%2Fput",
  "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.write("{\n  \"foo\": \"bar\"\n}");
req.end();
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Python" %}

```python
import http.client

conn = http.client.HTTPSConnection("scrape.shifter.io")

payload = "{\n  \"foo\": \"bar\"\n}"

conn.request("PUT", "/v1?api_key=api_key&url=https%3A%2F%2Fhttpbin.org%2Fput", payload)

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

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

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="PHP" %}

```php
