Product & API Guides5-Minute Quick Start: Get Your First Structured Dataset with the AntsData API
AntsData is a global data collection platform that provides managed scraper APIs for web pages, search engines, social media platforms, and e-commerce marketplaces. This guide walks you through making your first API call in under five minutes -- from signing up and obtaining an API key to sending a scrape request, parsing the structured JSON response, and scaling to batch processing with async mode. The Web Unlocker `scrape` endpoint costs 1.2 CNY per 1,000 records. Specialized endpoints (Google SERP, Amazon, social scrapers) range from 1.2 to 2 CNY per 1,000 records.
