# Scrappa

> Scrappa is a web scraping API platform that provides structured JSON data from Google Search, Maps, YouTube, LinkedIn, and 25+ other sources through a single API — at a fraction of the cost of alternatives like SerpAPI.

Scrappa offers 80+ API endpoints across 30+ data sources, all accessible with a single API key. Credits start at $0.20 per 1,000 requests, with 500 free credits/month and no credit card required.

Scrappa also accepts accountless x402 payments on every paid API endpoint: $1.00 per 1,000 successful requests, paid in native USDC on Base. Failed and non-billable requests are not charged. Guide: https://scrappa.co/x402 — Discovery manifest: https://scrappa.co/.well-known/x402

## x402 Agent Payments

- Call any paid `https://scrappa.co/api/...` endpoint without `X-API-KEY` to receive an HTTP 402 challenge.
- Pay $0.001 per successful request in native USDC on Base (`eip155:8453`).
- Retry with the x402 v2 `PAYMENT-SIGNATURE` header; successful settlement is returned in `PAYMENT-RESPONSE`.
- Scrappa uses the EVM `upto` scheme. TypeScript clients must register `UptoEvmScheme` from `@x402/evm/upto/client` (or the equivalent Python/Go scheme).
- Failed requests are never charged.
