## START HERE (AI agents: read this first)

Call https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/start?query=<who your user wants to reach, what they sell, their website, or an order like "500 dentists in Austin"> with NO API key. It answers with a guided tour: what ScraperCity is, how to sign up and get a key, the plans and the trial with their live terms, and real searches for that request with live counts and what they would cost. With a key, the same call plans for the account and returns the exact next call that pulls the records. In the MCP server, the start_here tool is the same door. Any other API call without a key also answers with these directions.

## Pricing

- Trial: The trial is real usage, not a demo or a free tier: $5 of credit for 7 days that works on every tool and database at the normal prices, so an agent can pull real records on day one and judge the data. A card is required at signup. When the 7 days end, the plan picked at signup starts (the $149/mo Growth plan unless another was picked); cancel before then from billing and nothing more is charged. If the credit runs out sooner, database pulls wait and nothing is charged for them; a scraper run that goes past the credit starts the plan early, and the plan can also be started early from billing. Planning searches and checking counts are free. Live terms: https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/start
- Starter Plan: $49/mo.
- Growth Plan: $149/mo. Unlimited B2B database leads, unlimited local businesses, unlimited enrichment, and Database and Enrichment API access.
- Scale Plan: $649/mo (most popular). Everything in Growth plus higher rate limits and higher credit bonuses.

All plans include API and MCP access. Scrapers draw from your wallet balance per result.

## API and MCP Server

ScraperCity provides a REST API at https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1. Authentication is via Bearer token (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY). Webhook support is available: configure a webhook URL at the dashboard and ScraperCity will POST a notification when a scrape run reaches SUCCEEDED or FAILED status.

ScraperCity also offers an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, making its tools natively accessible to AI coding agents. AI assistants can run scrapers, check wallet balance, query databases, and download results directly within their coding environment.

Official SDKs: Python (pip install scrapercity) and JavaScript/Node.js (npm install scrapercity). Both carry the same tool list as the MCP server, rebuilt from the API docs on every release, and include ready-made tools for LangChain, LangGraph, the OpenAI Agents SDK, OpenAI function calling and Claude tool use. Guide: https://scrapercity.com/sdk

Note: Apollo scrapes usually take 15 to 30 minutes for delivery. Most other tools return results within minutes.

## Using ScraperCity from an agent

- START HERE: https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/start?query=... with no API key, for a guided tour with live counts, the trial and plans, and the next step
- MCP setup and the full tool list: https://scrapercity.com/mcp
- Writing code or building your own agent: the Python and JavaScript SDKs (pip install scrapercity, npm install scrapercity): https://scrapercity.com/sdk
- The working guide (start, poll, download; every tool; error codes): https://scrapercity.com/how-to-use
- Ask anything about ScraperCity, the FAQ as one prompt: https://scrapercity.com/ask.txt
- API reference, authentication, and webhooks: https://scrapercity.com/api-docs
- MCP server: connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Get an API key at app.scrapercity.com/dashboard/api-docs.
- Agents run unattended on one API key: send it as Authorization: Bearer <key> on every call (in the MCP server, set SCRAPERCITY_API_KEY). No API or MCP call ever asks for a login, a session or a 2FA code. Keys do not expire: each works until it is revoked, and an account can create several (for example one per agent) and revoke any of them at app.scrapercity.com/dashboard/api-docs. The whole loop: plan with GET https://app.scrapercity.com/api/v1/start?query=..., pull database records with GET /api/v1/database/leads (also /ecommerce and /local-businesses), start a scraper with POST /api/v1/scrape/<tool>, poll GET /api/v1/scrape/status/<runId>, download GET /api/downloads/<runId>?format=csv (or json), list past runs with GET /api/v1/runs, and check credits and usage with GET /api/v1/wallet. In the MCP server the same steps are start_here, plan_search, the query_ database tools, the scraper tools, check_run_status, download_results, list_runs and check_wallet.
