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 Press Trust of India (JavaScript rendering and a wait for the content).

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

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

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?

What happens when Press Trust of India changes its pages?

We check Press Trust of India 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.
