Patents API Documentation

Use Crawlora's Patents API endpoints to extract supported public Patents data as structured JSON. This documentation covers 2 active endpoints including Fetch a document's full bibliographic data, abstract, description, and claims, Search USPTO's own patent full-text search index. Developers can use these endpoints for monitoring, enrichment, research dashboards, internal data pipelines, and agent-native workflows without maintaining platform-specific scraping code. Each endpoint page documents authentication, request parameters such as guid, source, q, cURL examples, response examples, response schemas, errors, credit cost, and Playground testing. Send requests to the Crawlora API with an x-api-key header, review usage and plan limits on pricing, and test safe sample requests in Playground before moving the workflow into production.

Quick start

Choose an endpoint, send an authenticated request with the x-api-key header, and inspect the normalized JSON response. The examples below use the public Crawlora API base URL and the same endpoint catalog used by Playground.

Base URL: https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1
Auth header: x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY
Primary endpoint: GET /patents/search
Credit cost: 3 credits/request

curl -X GET "https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1/patents/search?q=coffee&num=10&page=1" \
  -H "x-api-key: $CRAWLORA_API_KEY"
