OpenAPI Specification
openapi: 3.2.0
info:
title: scraper-api.com LinkedIn API
version: 0.1.0
description: 'Self-hosted social media scraping API — a drop-in replacement for scrapecreators.com.
## Authentication
Every request must send your API key in the `x-api-key` header.
## Credits
Billing is credit-based: **1 request = 1 credit** (some endpoints cost more — see each endpoint''s description). Credits are **non-expiring** — buy once, use whenever.
Response bodies match the ScrapeCreators shapes so existing integrations work unchanged.'
