Documentation

Everything speaks one language: REST with a Bearer key and a single JSON envelope. This quickstart covers authentication, the endpoints, the envelope and the MCP setup — the per-product pages hold the full parameter reference for each API.

quickstart

$ export QD_API_KEY=qd_live_your_key_here
$ curl https://api.quanticdata.io/v1/scrape \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $QD_API_KEY" \
    -d '{ "url": "https://example.com" }'
{ "success": true,
  "data": { "markdown": "# Example Domain\n…" },
  "usage": { "cost_usd": 0.0002 } }
# one envelope, every endpoint: success · data · usage

Authentication

Every request carries your key in the Authorization header: Bearer $QD_API_KEY. One key covers all Data APIs — scraping, SERP, map, crawl, batch and SEO audit share the same account, the same free allowance and the same rate limit budget.

Keys start on the pay-as-you-go tier: $1 of free usage every month with no card, 60 requests per minute, list unit prices. Subscription tiers raise limits and discount unit prices — see pricing.

Endpoints

Base URL: https://api.quanticdata.io/v1 — all endpoints accept JSON bodies via POST; job status endpoints are GET.

Endpoint	What it does	Price · reference
`POST /v1/scrape`	One page → Markdown, HTML or text; CSS or AI extraction	$0.0002 · Web Scraping API
`POST /v1/serp`	Search results as SerpApi-compatible JSON, 3 engines, 17 verticals	from $0.0005 · SERP API
`POST /v1/map`	Every URL of a site: sitemaps + homepage links, totals + sections	$0.0005 · Crawl & Map
`POST /v1/crawl`	Async BFS crawl to Markdown; poll `GET /v1/crawl/:jobId`	$0.0003/page · Crawl & Map
`POST /v1/batch`	Up to 1,000 known URLs; poll `GET /v1/batch/:jobId`	$0.0002/URL · Web Scraping API
`POST /v1/seo-audit`	No-JS + rendered views of a URL, diffed, with bot-facing meta	$0.0012 · SEO Audit API

The response envelope

Every endpoint answers with the same shape: success, data (the payload documented per product), and usage with the call's cost in USD. Failures return success: false with a machine-readable error code — and per the pay-per-success rule, a failed call costs nothing.

Calls that fight through blocks include a per-attempt retry log, so "why was this slow" has an answer in the response itself. Async jobs — crawl and batch — are charged up front on requested volume and auto-refund the unfetched share when the job settles.

MCP setup

The same platform as native agent tools — full guide on the MCP server page.
