The HTML Extraction API retrieves the raw HTML source code of any publicly accessible webpage with a single API call.
You just need to provide a valid URL. The API will fetch and return the page’s HTML.
The API returns a JSON response containing the full HTML content as a string. Plus additional data such as link_count, image_count, heading_tag_count, p_count, character_encoding, page_language, total_size_kb, character_count, word_count, line_count, title, description, keywords, final_url, status_code, and headers.
The API returns structured HTML which is parsed through the BeautifulSoup library.
Absolutely. It can be used to analyze metadata, headings, tags, and on-page SEO elements directly from the HTML.
The current version extracts one page per request, but you can batch requests in your application to handle multiple URLs.
The API is optimized for speed, typically responding in milliseconds depending on the site’s complexity and load time.
Web scraping and data collection SEO auditing and metadata analysis Content monitoring and archiving Research and machine learning datasets Building search or crawler tools
Yes, the API follows redirects (301/302) and returns the HTML of the final destination page.
The API only fetches publicly available data. Users are responsible for complying with the target website’s terms of service and robots.txt.
The Extract HTML endpoint returns a JSON object containing the complete HTML code of the requested webpage, along with metadata such as link count, image count, heading tags, character encoding, and more.
Key fields include `link_count`, `image_count`, `heading_tag_count`, `title`, `description`, `final_url`, `status_code`, and `html_code`. These provide insights into the page structure and content.
The response is structured as a JSON object with nested fields. Main attributes include HTML content and metadata, allowing easy access to specific data points like `title` and `link_count`.
The endpoint provides information about the webpage's structure, including counts of links, images, headings, and paragraphs, as well as the HTML content itself and HTTP response details.
Users can customize requests by specifying different URLs to extract HTML from various pages. The API automatically handles the fetching and parsing of the provided URL.
For example, `link_count` indicates the number of hyperlinks on the page, while `heading_tag_count` provides a breakdown of different heading levels (h1, h2, etc.), helping users understand the page's content hierarchy.
The API fetches live data directly from the specified URLs, ensuring that the HTML and metadata reflect the current state of the webpage, subject to the site's availability.
Typical use cases include web scraping for data analysis, SEO audits to evaluate on-page elements, content monitoring for changes, and building tools for search engines or crawlers.
Typical use cases include web scraping for data analysis, SEO audits for optimizing content, and building crawlers or search engines that require structured HTML data for processing.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
