GET /v1/on_page/pageLast updated November 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
When to use the On-Page Page API
Use it to audit a single public URL in one call rather than crawling a whole site.
From the API reference
Returns a technical on-page audit for one URL: title, meta, heading counts, on-page score, checks (HTTPS, canonical, broken links), and page timing. One credit per call.

What can you do with the Page API?
The Page endpoint gives you structured On-Page data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/on_page/page: 1 credit per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.
IDEMPOTENCY_KEY=$(od -An -N16 -tx1 /dev/urandom | tr -d ' \n')
