Web Scraper API at Algobook

Our Web Scraper API allows anyone, for free, to get the full HTML content for a given URL. The page is then cached for two hours for fast access. The API have support for client-side rendered code as well.

The usage is simple, just do a GET request to our media API and we will retrieve the HTML for you.

GET /scrape

const response = await fetch(
  "https://media.algobook.info/scrape?url=https://example.com"
);

const content = await response.json();

console.log(content.data); // Full HTML of the given page
