Common questions about the Website Images Scraper API.

Read the docs →

What does the Website Images Scraper API do?

Web Image Scraper is a simple tool for scraping images from a website. It returns the URLs of the images found on the website.

How do I authenticate Website Images Scraper API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the Website Images Scraper API cost?

Each call spends 10 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the Website Images Scraper API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the Website Images Scraper API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the Website Images Scraper API use?

POST over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

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.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`url`Required	string	`https://www.wikipedia.org`	The URL of the website you want to scrape images from url

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`maxlinks`OptionalPremium	integer	`25`	The limit of image URLs returned from your query default 25 · range 1-100
`includequery`Optional	boolean	`true`	Keep query strings on the scraped image URLs instead of trimming them default false

Example request

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.

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/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.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`url`	string	`"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System"`	URL of the website that was scraped
`imageCount`	number	`25`	Total number of images found on the website
`externalImageCount`	number	`0`	Number of images hosted on a different domain (CDNs, third parties)
`internalImageCount`	number	`25`	Number of images hosted on the same domain as the page
`images`	array[25]		Array of image objects with URLs and metadata
`src`	string	`"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System/static/images/icons/wikipedia.png"`	Image URL source from the website
`external`	boolean	`false`	Whether the image is hosted externally
`uniqueDomains`	array	`[]`	Distinct external hosts serving images on the page
`maxLinksReached`	boolean	`true`	Whether the maximum link limit was reached

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	Website Images 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.
