For Agents
Programmatically scrape web page (post), scrape web page. Covers 2 operations with apiKey authentication.

Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for media and content only.
ScrapingDog is a scalable web scraping API for data extraction. It provides proxy rotation, JavaScript rendering, and CAPTCHA handling capabilities. The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the ScrapingDog API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ScrapingDog API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fscrapingdog.com%2Fscrapingdog" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fscrapingdog.com%2Fscrapingdog" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with ScrapingDog API.
Scrape Web Page (POST)
Manage media data programmatically
Integrate ScrapingDog API into automated workflows
Query and filter ScrapingDog API records by parameters
Monitor ScrapingDog API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use ScrapingDog API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Media and Content Operations
Use the ScrapingDog API to perform media operations programmatically. The API provides 2 endpoints covering core functionality including scrape web page (post), scrape web page.
Call POST /scrape to scrape web page (post)
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query ScrapingDog API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.
Poll the primary ScrapingDog API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ScrapingDog API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'scrape web page (post)', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the ScrapingDog API by hand means passing your api_key in the query string against api.scrapingdog.com and building your own retry handling for failed scrapes. Through Jentic you install once, import ScrapingDog from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
ScrapingDog takes the target URL in the request rather than the path, so you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as a GET or POST scrape. You choose the operations it may call, and any you leave out stay unavailable to the agent.
Credential isolation
Your ScrapingDog API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'scrape a web page', and Jentic returns the matching ScrapingDog operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using ScrapingDog API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ScrapingDog API use?
The ScrapingDog API uses an API key passed in the `api_key` query. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I scrape web page (post) with the ScrapingDog API?
Yes. Use the POST /scrape endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the ScrapingDog API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I scrape web page (post) through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'scrape web page (post)'. Jentic returns the matching ScrapingDog API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the ScrapingDog API have?
The ScrapingDog API exposes 2 endpoints covering scrape operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the ScrapingDog API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself and self-host it, your own rules decide which ScrapingDog operations your agent may call and which credentials it may use. ScrapingDog takes the target URL in the request rather than the path, so you can grant only the operations the agent needs, such as the GET /scrape or the POST /scrape, and any operation you leave out stays unavailable to the agent. Your ScrapingDog API key is stored once, encrypted by your own instance, and injected at execution time, so it never enters the agent's prompt or logs.
