Introduction
datacaiman — web scraping APIs for search engines, social media, real estate, and more
What is datacaiman?
datacaiman is a credit-based API platform that gives you access to web scraping APIs for search engines, social media, real estate, classifieds, and travel — all through simple REST endpoints.
How it works
- Sign up and get 10 free credits.
- Create an API key from the API Keys page.
- Call any endpoint with your key in the
X-API-Keyheader. - Each call costs 1 credit (some endpoints may cost more — check the individual API pages).
Credits reset at the start of each billing period.
Base URL
All API endpoints are served from:
https://api.datacaiman.com/v1
Authentication
Include your API key in every request using one of these two methods:
X-API-Key: dc_your_key_here
or
Authorization: Bearer dc_your_key_here
Response format
All endpoints return JSON. Errors always include an error field:
{ "error": "human readable message" }
