ScraperAPI — Node.js SDK Best Practices

Requires: Node.js 14+, npm install scraperapi-sdk, SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY environment variable.

Setup

// CommonJS
const scraperapiClient = require('scraperapi-sdk')(process.env.SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY);

// ES Modules / TypeScript
import ScraperAPIClient from 'scraperapi-sdk';
const scraperapiClient = new ScraperAPIClient(process.env.SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY);

Never hardcode the API key. Read it from the environment every time.
