cURL Examples

Use cURL to test Crawlora endpoints from a terminal before adding code to an application.

Set API key environment variable

Environment

export CRAWLORA_API_KEY="crl_..."

Basic request

This uses the real Search Bing web results endpoint at https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/bing/search.

cURL request

curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/bing/search?q=coffee&page=1&count=10&country=us&lang=en" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"

Pretty print with jq

Pretty JSON

curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/bing/search?q=coffee&page=1&count=10&country=us&lang=en" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY" | jq .

Save response to a file

Save output

curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/bing/search?q=coffee&page=1&count=10&country=us&lang=en" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY" \
  -o crawlora-response.json

Verbose/debug mode

Verbose cURL

curl -v -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/bing/search?q=coffee&page=1&count=10&country=us&lang=en" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"

Example error response

This shape is illustrative. Endpoint docs are the source of truth when a generated failure schema is available.

Illustrative error

{
  "error": {
    "code": "rate_limit_exceeded",
    "message": "Rate limit exceeded.",
    "request_id": "req_..."
  }
}

Next steps

Move the request into server-side application code
Add timeouts and retries
Handle 429 and temporary 5xx responses
Open the endpoint docs for request and response schemas
