JSON Response - Autoparse

For select websites the API will parse all the valuable data in the HTML response and return it in JSON format. To enable this feature, simply add autoparse=true to your request and the API will parse the data for you. Currently, this feature works with Amazon, Google Search, Google Shopping and Walmart.

  • API REQUEST

try {
String apiKey = "APIKEY";
String url = "https://api.scraperapi.com?api_key=" + apiKey + "&autoparse=true&url=http://httpbin.org/ip";
URL urlForGetRequest = new URL(url);
String readLine = null;
HttpURLConnection conection = (HttpURLConnection) urlForGetRequest.openConnection();
conection.setRequestMethod("GET");
int responseCode = conection.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conection.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
while ((readLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
response.append(readLine);
}
in.close();
System.out.println(response.toString());
} else {
throw new Exception("Error in API Call");
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
  • PROXY MODE

try {
  String apiKey = "APIKEY";
  String proxy = "http://scraperapi.autoparse=true:" + apiKey + "@proxy-server.scraperapi.com";
  URL server = new URL("http://httpbin.org/ip");
  Properties systemProperties = System.getProperties();
  systemProperties.setProperty("http.proxyHost", proxy);
  systemProperties.setProperty("http.proxyPort", "8001");
  HttpURLConnection httpURLConnection = (HttpURLConnection) server.openConnection();
  httpURLConnection.connect();
  String readLine = null;
  int responseCode = httpURLConnection.getResponseCode();
  if (responseCode == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpURLConnection.getInputStream()));
      StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
      while ((readLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
          response.append(readLine);
      }
      in.close();
      System.out.println(response.toString());
  } else {
      throw new Exception("Error in API Call");
  }
} catch (Exception ex) {
  ex.printStackTrace();
}
  • SDK METHOD

// remember to install the library: https://search.maven.org/artifact/com.scraperapi/sdk/1.0
ScraperApiClient client = new ScraperApiClient("APIKEY");
  client.get("http://httpbin.org/ip")
  .autoparse(true)
  .result();
