Website Images Scraper

Overview

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.

Endpoint

One host, one path per API. The block below shows this call in four languages; every one of them is the same HTTP request. Making requests covers the timeouts, retries and parameter rules that apply to all of them. The SDKs wrap the same call in a typed client.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	body := strings.NewReader(`{
  "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System"
}`)
	req, _ := http.NewRequest("POST", "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/webimagescraper", body)
	req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
	req.Header.Set("x-api-key", "your_api_key_here")

	res, err := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

	fmt.Println(string(out))
}

Replace your_api_key_here with the key from your dashboard. When the inputs arrive as a list rather than one at a time, batch requests run up to 200 of them through this same API in a single call.

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — there is no token exchange and no per-endpoint scope to configure. Authentication covers creating, rotating and revoking keys.

Parameters

Sent as JSON in the request body. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them.

Response

Every API returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape. Response format covers the envelope, the other output formats and how premium fields are withheld.

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.

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change. Error handling covers the full status list and which of them are worth retrying.

Use cases

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.
