About the SEO Data Scraper API

SEO Scraper works by parsing the HTML content of a web page to extract the SEO data. It returns the meta title, meta description, and more in a structured format.

What people use it for

Link Preview Generation: Chat applications fetch page titles, descriptions, and Open Graph image URLs to display rich snippet cards when users paste web links.
Search Snippet Auditing: Content marketing platforms read title tags and meta descriptions across blog posts to flag missing or truncated text before publishing.
Competitor Tag Tracking: Monitor competing landing pages by inspecting robots directives, meta keywords, and Twitter card types to catch changes in their promotion strategies.
Indexing Rule Verification: When auditing website migrations, technical consultants verify robots directives and page titles to confirm search bots can crawl target pages correctly.

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable

Questions.

Common questions about the SEO Data Scraper API.

Read the docs →

Does it extract Open Graph tags and Twitter cards alongside standard meta tags?

Yes. It parses standard meta tags like title, description, robots and keywords, plus Open Graph tags and Twitter card fields such as the card type, image and site handle.

Does it return JSON-LD structured data or heading tags?

No. SEO Data Scraper returns meta tags, Open Graph and Twitter card fields, robots, viewport and charset. If you need JSON-LD, headings or image tags, the Metadata Extractor API returns those on paid plans.

Is the canonical URL included on the Free plan?

No. The canonical URL is the only premium field, included on any paid plan starting with Starter. Everything else, including Open Graph and Twitter card data, is returned on the Free plan.

How far does the Starter plan go for page scrapes?

Starter includes 200,000 credits per month, which covers 20,000 page scrapes at 10 credits per call. That works out to about $0.0015 per scrape or $1.50 per 1,000 calls. The Free plan includes 20 scrapes each month for testing.

Does the scraper return live page data or cached snapshots?

It fetches and parses the live HTML of the target page on every request rather than serving cached snapshots, so you see the meta tags currently published on the URL.

Can I display scraped SEO data inside my own client-facing tool?

Yes, as long as you are on a paid plan. You can use the parsed SEO and schema data inside your own SEO dashboards, audits, or competitor research tools, provided you do not resell the raw API data directly.

Request parameters — POST /v1/seoscraper

Sent as JSON in the request body. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`url`Required	string	`https://apiverve.com`	The URL of the web page to scrape SEO data from url

Example request

curl -X POST "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/seoscraper" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://apiverve.com"}'

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.
`content-type`Required	POST body	`application/json`

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — POST /v1/seoscraper

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "url": "https://apiverve.com",
    "title": "APIVerve — One key for 300+ production APIs",
    "description": "Consistent schemas, predictable credit pricing, and an uptime SLA on every paid plan across 300+ production APIs. One key, one bill, zero glue code.",
    "keywords": "",
    "author": "",
    "canonical": "",
    "og:title": "APIVerve — One key for 300+ production APIs",
    "og:description": "Consistent schemas, predictable credit pricing, and an uptime SLA on every paid plan across 300+ production APIs. One key, one bill, zero glue code.",
    "og:image": "https://apiverve.com/social-images/page-home.png",
    "og:url": "https://apiverve.com",
    "og:type": "website",
    "og:site_name": "APIVerve",
    "twitter:card": "summary_large_image",
    "twitter:title": "APIVerve — One key for 300+ production APIs",
    "twitter:description": "Consistent schemas, predictable credit pricing, and an uptime SLA on every paid plan across 300+ production APIs.",
    "twitter:image": "https://apiverve.com/social-images/page-home.png",
    "twitter:site": "",
    "robots": "",
    "viewport": "width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1",
    "charset": "utf-8"
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`url`	string	`"https://apiverve.com"`	The URL that was scraped
`title`	string	`"APIVerve — One key for 300+ production APIs"`	Page title tag content for SEO optimization
`description`	string	`"Consistent schemas, predictable credit pricing, and an uptime SLA on every paid plan across 300+ production APIs. One key, one bill, zero g…`	Meta description tag for search engine snippets
`keywords`	string	`""`	Meta keywords tag for SEO targeting
`author`	string	`""`	Author meta tag content for attribution
`canonical`Premium	string	`""`	Canonical URL specified in page meta tags
`og:title`	string	`"APIVerve — One key for 300+ production APIs"`	Open Graph title for social media preview
`og:description`	string	`"Consistent schemas, predictable credit pricing, and an uptime SLA on every paid plan across 300+ production APIs. One key, one bill, zero g…`	Open Graph description for social sharing
`og:image`	string	`"https://apiverve.com/social-images/page-home.png"`	Open Graph image URL for social previews
`og:url`	string	`"https://apiverve.com"`	Open Graph canonical URL for social sharing
`og:type`	string	`"website"`	Open Graph content type like website or article
`og:site_name`	string	`"APIVerve"`	Open Graph site name for consistency
`twitter:card`	string	`"summary_large_image"`	Twitter card type like summary_large_image
`twitter:title`	string	`"APIVerve — One key for 300+ production APIs"`	Twitter card title for social preview
`twitter:description`	string	`"Consistent schemas, predictable credit pricing, and an uptime SLA on every paid plan across 300+ production APIs."`	Twitter card description for social sharing
`twitter:image`	string	`"https://apiverve.com/social-images/page-home.png"`	Twitter card image URL for social media
`twitter:site`	string	`""`	Twitter account handle for attribution
`robots`	string	`""`	Robots meta tag directives for search indexing
`viewport`	string	`"width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1"`	Viewport meta tag for mobile responsive design
`charset`	string	`"utf-8"`	Character encoding declared in page metadata

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 10 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	SEO Data Scraper calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	20	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	20,000	$1.50
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	100,000	$1.00
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	400,000	$0.75

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
