Website Images Scraper API

About the Website Images Scraper API

Pass a target URL to fetch the live web page and parse its image tags. The response separates images hosted on the root domain from third-party CDNs, listing each source URL and distinct external host. URL query strings are stripped by default but can be preserved, while paid plans can raise the link limit above 25.

What people use it for

Content Management Migration

When migrating blog posts to a new CMS, developers audit external image links to download and re-host assets locally.

CDN Asset Audit

Security teams scan internal pages to detect unapproved third-party host domains serving images to corporate users.

Product Catalog Ingestion

E-commerce aggregators pull image URLs from supplier product pages to populate marketplace listings without manual data entry.

Copyright Compliance Checks

To prevent asset misuse, publishers scan partner sites to confirm images load directly from approved content delivery networks.

Ways to call it

Request parameters — POST /v1/webimagescraper

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.

curl -X POST "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/webimagescraper" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System","maxlinks":1,"includequery":true}'

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.

Response — POST /v1/webimagescraper

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.

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.

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.

Errors

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

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.

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.

Zero-code embed — one snippet, no backend

Drop an interactive Website Images Scraper form onto any page. The widget calls the API for you, so no key ever appears in your markup and there is nothing to deploy.

Changelog — Website Images Scraper API

Every change to this endpoint, newest first. Breaking changes ship as a new version and the previous one keeps serving — response fields are added, never removed or retyped in place, so an integration written against v1 keeps working.
