Async Batch Requests

We have created a separate endpoint that accepts an array of URLs instead of just one to initiate scraping of multiple URLs at the same time: https://async.scraperapi.com/batchjobs. The API is almost the same as the single endpoint, but we expect an array of strings in the urls field instead of a string in url.

require 'net/http'
require 'json'

uri = URI('https://async.scraperapi.com/batchjobs')

website_content = Net::HTTP.post(uri, { "apiKey" => "xxxxxx", "urls" => ["https://example.com/page1", "https://example.com/page2"] }.to_json, "Content-Type" => "application/json")
print(website_content.body)

As a response you’ll also get an array of the same response that you get using our single job endpoint:

},

}
