One call

Send the page URL and the recipe name to the Scrape API. The recipe brings the extract rules and the settings that work on CoinDesk (JavaScript rendering).

curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
  -H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode 'url=https://www.coindesk.com/policy' \
  --data-urlencode 'recipe=coindesk/listing'

The answer is {"result": {...}} with the headers Ujb-Recipe and Ujb-Credits. Other page types: recipe=coindesk/detail, or recipe=coindesk and the API picks the page type from the URL. Your own parameters always win over the recipe.

FAQ

What does the CoinDesk recipe return?

JSON with 9 fields from search results (recipe=coindesk/listing) and article (recipe=coindesk/detail), for example title, url, image, summary, published. The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields shown on this page.

How much does it cost to scrape CoinDesk?

5 credits a page ($0.50 per 1,000 on Pro, $0.82 on Starter). Same price as the page call, no fee for the recipe. Only successful responses are billed; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. The recipe brings the settings that work on CoinDesk: JavaScript rendering. Send only the URL and recipe=coindesk/listing.

What happens when CoinDesk changes its pages?

We check CoinDesk every day and re-validate the recipe on real pages every week, then fix it when the site changes. Until a fix is live, the API answers 404 "the recipe has no working version" instead of empty data, and that call is free.

Can I change the fields?

Yes. Send your own extract_rules or any setting (js, proxy_type, wait_for) and it wins over the recipe. The developer guide shows the recipe rules to start from.
