Quick Start

Introduction

trueparse is a modern web scraping API that extracts clean, structured data from any website. Unlike traditional scrapers that break when websites change, trueparse uses AI-powered parsing to reliably extract content in multiple formats: HTML, Markdown, images, and custom JSON schemas.

Capabilities

• Dynamic Content Rendering: Fully managed virtual browsers that render dynamic JavaScript content
• Universal Parsing: Effortlessly parse websites, PDFs, images and more into clean structured data
• AI-Powered Data Extraction: Extract perfect JSON data using natural language or custom schemas. Ditch manual HTML selectors
• Advanced Stealth Mode: Stay undetected with world-class anti-bot software and automatic proxy management
• Parallel Web Crawling: Crawl entire websites and scrape multiple pages in parallel for maximum performance
• Schedules & Webhooks: Automate your scraping tasks with schedules and deliver data directly via webhooks

Getting Started

1. Get Your API Key

First, you'll need an API key to authenticate your requests:

1. Sign up for a trueparse account
2. Navigate to the API Keys page in your dashboard
3. Click "Create New Key" and give it a descriptive name
4. Copy your API key (keep it secure - and don't share it with anyone!)

2. Test in the Playground

Before writing code, try the API playground to:

• Test different websites and see the extracted data
• Experiment with output formats (HTML, Markdown, images)
• Generate code snippets for your preferred language
• Test data extraction with prompts or custom schemas

Your First API Call

Here's how to make your first request to extract content from a webpage. Replace <API_KEY> with your actual API key from the dashboard.

curl -X POST https://api.trueparse.com/v0/scrape \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "outputs": ["markdown", "html"]
  }'

import requests
import json

url = "https://api.trueparse.com/v0/scrape"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}
data = {
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "outputs": ["markdown", "html"]
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
result = response.json()
print(result)

const url = "https://api.trueparse.com/v0/scrape";
const data = {
    url: "https://example.com",
    outputs: ["markdown", "html"]
};

fetch(url, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(data)
})
.then(response => response.json())
.then(result => console.log(result));
