Quickstart V4

New to the API? Start here — get your first collected data in about 5 minutes.

With one API key you will call, in order: find a bot → check its settings → request a collection → wait until it finishes → download the data. Copy each command into your terminal and replace YOUR_API_KEY.

: About 5 min
You need: A HashScraper account · one crawling bot · credits (or a plan)

Copy your API key

Copy the key from My info → API key. Send it on every request as the Authorization header in the form Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
Treat the key like a password. Do not commit it or show it on screen.
Sign up free and get an API key
After signing up, your key is under My info → API key. Already have an account? Log in.

Check the connection
GET

First make sure the key works. If your account email comes back, you are ready.

```
curl 'https://www.hashscraper.com/v4/api/me' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```
Success when you see "result": "success" and your email. On 401, copy the key again.
3
Pick a bot
GET

List your crawling bots and pick the id of the one to run. You can also copy it from the bot page via More → Copy bot ID.

```
data[].id is the bot ID. Use it in the next step to check the bot's settings.
4
Check the settings
GET

See which inputs the bot uses (keyword, sort order, …), their saved values, and the values you can choose from.
Each key in param_info must be sent inside params when you request a collection. You may use the alias (e.g. keyword) instead of param1. For inputs with options, send one of the listed values.

```
curl 'https://www.hashscraper.com/v4/api/schedules/8f3a7c1e9b5d24f6/param_info' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```
For each key in data.param_info, check name (meaning), value (saved value) and options (choices).
5
Request a collection
POST

Ask the bot to collect. Every input the bot uses must be inside params (a missing key returns MISSING_PARAM). Values sent here do not change the bot's settings.
Credits are deducted as the collection saves data. By default it is the bot's credits per item for every row; some collection methods that save many rows in one batch can apply a multiplier, and contract prices can apply (the dataset shows the credits actually used). schedule_result_id identifies this collection (dataset).

curl -X POST 'https://www.hashscraper.com/v4/api/schedules/8f3a7c1e9b5d24f6/collections' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "params": { "param1": "키성장" } }'
```
Use data.schedule_result_id in the next step.
6
Wait until it finishes
GET

Collection runs in the background. Poll the status every 10–30 seconds. Depending on the site and volume it takes from tens of seconds to tens of minutes.

  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```
Done when sr_status is finish or complete. data_count is the number of rows so far.
7
Download the data
GET

Fetch the rows of the finished dataset, limit rows at a time. Pass the response's next_cursor as cursor to get the next page.

```
curl 'https://www.hashscraper.com/v4/api/schedule_results/239758028/results?limit=1000' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```
When next_cursor is null, you have the last page.
