ScraperAPI Async Jobs API

The Async API submits scraping jobs in the background and retries them for up to 24 hours to maximize success. Results are retrieved by polling a status URL or received automatically via webhook.

When NOT to use Async

• Single URL, result needed immediately → use the Standard API (api.scraperapi.com) — simpler and returns inline.
• Need to follow links across a site → use the Crawler.
• Need recurring scheduled scraping → use DataPipeline.

Use Async when: scraping 20+ URLs, the target site is slow or flaky, you want webhook delivery, or you need to scrape PDFs/images.
