7NOW API endpoint
Use Crawlora's 7NOW Suggest API to extract supported public 7NOW data as structured JSON. This page includes request parameters, cURL examples, response schema, error behavior, credit cost, and a Playground link for testing before integration.
/7now/suggestReturns search-term completions for a partial query, e.g. "chi" -> "chips ahoy", "chips", "chicken". No store is required. q must be at least 3 characters -- shorter values return a typed invalid-param error, matching upstream's own enforced minimum. vertical selects which search index to complete against, and the indexes are materially different rather than variations on one list: for "chi", `convenience` answers "chips ahoy, chips, chicken wings" while `restaurant` answers "chipotle, chinese food, chili". `global` is a sparse cross-vertical index -- many prefixes legitimately return no suggestions there. Developers commonly use this endpoint for data enrichment, monitoring, research dashboards, internal automation, and agent-native workflows that need repeatable structured public web data. Authentication uses the documented Crawlora headers, and usage is metered with the credit cost shown on this page.
Request parameters are generated from the active endpoint catalog. Required values must be sent before Crawlora can call the upstream public web data source.
