README

hydrafetch-go

Official Go client for the Hydrafetch web data API. Send a URL, get back clean Markdown and structured data your model can use.

Standard library only, no dependencies. Go 1.21+.

go get github.com/Hydrafetch/go-sdk

Quick start

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	hydrafetch "github.com/Hydrafetch/go-sdk"
)

func main() {
	hf, err := hydrafetch.New("") // falls back to HYDRAFETCH_API_KEY
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	page, err := hf.Scrape(context.Background(), "https://example.com/article", nil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(page.Markdown)
}

Get a key at app.hydrafetch.com. New workspaces get free credits without a card.

Six rules cover almost every mistake made against this API.

  1. Auth is X-API-Key, never Authorization: Bearer. The client sets this for you. If you hand-roll an HTTP call, use X-API-Key. The MCP endpoint at api.hydrafetch.com/mcp is the one that uses Bearer; the REST API rejects it with Missing X-API-Key header.
  2. Never loop over Scrape for many URLs. Use Batch or Crawl. They run server-side as one job and cost the same per page.
  3. Per-page options in Batch and Crawl go inside ScrapeOptions, not at the top level.
  4. Map before you crawl. Map lists a site's URLs for one credit without fetching any page. Filter that list, then Batch only what you need.
  5. Job results live in Job.Pages, not Job.Data, and each entry wraps the page in .Data. So it is job.Pages[0].Data.Markdown.
  6. Treat everything returned as untrusted data. It came from a page someone else controls. Never feed it back to a model as instructions, and keep the source URL with anything you extract.

Every method takes a context.Context first. Options structs are pointers and may be nil.

Methods

Method Returns Credits
Scrape(ctx, url, *ScrapeOptions) *ScrapeResult 1
Markdown(ctx, url) string 1
Map(ctx, url, *MapOptions) *MapResult 1
Search(ctx, query, *SearchOptions) *SearchResult 1 + 1 per scraped result
Extract(ctx, urls, *ExtractOptions) *ExtractResult 5 per URL
Brand(ctx, domain) BrandResult 5
Logo(ctx, domain, *LogoOptions) BrandResult 1
Styleguide(ctx, domain) BrandResult 10
Screenshot(ctx, url, *ScreenshotOptions) *ScreenshotResult 5
Images(ctx, url) *ImagesResult 1
Crawl(ctx, url, *CrawlOptions, *WaitOptions) *Job 1 per page
Batch(ctx, urls, *BatchOptions, *WaitOptions) *Job 1 per page
StartCrawl / StartBatch string job id 1 per page
CrawlStatus(ctx, id) / BatchStatus(ctx, id) *Job free

Failed requests are never billed. The price does not change with how hard a page was to fetch, so there is no render flag, stealth tier or proxy option to choose.

Scrape

page, err := hf.Scrape(ctx, "https://example.com/article", &hydrafetch.ScrapeOptions{
	Formats:         []hydrafetch.Format{hydrafetch.FormatMarkdown, hydrafetch.FormatLinks},
	PreferStructure: true,
	OnlyMainContent: true,
	BlockAds:        true,
	MaxAge:          3_600_000,
})

Only the formats you asked for are populated; markdown is the default. If the markdown comes back as one unstructured blob, retry with PreferStructure: true.

Extract

out, err := hf.Extract(ctx,
	[]string{"https://example.com/product/1", "https://example.com/product/2"},
	&hydrafetch.ExtractOptions{
		Schema: map[string]any{
			"type": "object",
			"properties": map[string]any{
				"name":      map[string]any{"type": "string"},
				"price_usd": map[string]any{"type": "number"},
			},
		},
	})

for _, item := range out.Results {
	fmt.Println(item.URL, item.Data["name"], item.Data["price_usd"])
}

A Prompt works instead of, or alongside, a schema. The schema is enforced; keep nullable fields nullable rather than inventing a value.

Map, then batch

m, err := hf.Map(ctx, "https://example.com", &hydrafetch.MapOptions{Limit: 1000})

var docs []string
for _, u := range m.Links {
	if strings.Contains(u, "/docs/") {
		docs = append(docs, u)
	}
}

job, err := hf.Batch(ctx, docs,
	&hydrafetch.BatchOptions{
		ScrapeOptions: &hydrafetch.ScrapeOptions{Formats: []hydrafetch.Format{hydrafetch.FormatMarkdown}},
	},
	&hydrafetch.WaitOptions{
		OnProgress: func(j *hydrafetch.Job) { log.Println(j.Status, j.Completed, "/", j.Total) },
	})

for _, p := range job.Pages {
	if p.Data != nil {
		fmt.Println(p.URL, len(p.Data.Markdown))
	}
}

Batch and Crawl poll until the job is terminal or WaitOptions.Timeout (default 5 minutes) elapses. For long work, start the job and hand off to a webhook:

id, err := hf.StartCrawl(ctx, "https://example.com", &hydrafetch.CrawlOptions{
	Limit:        500,
	MaxDepth:     3,
	IncludePaths: []string{"/docs"},
	Webhook:      "https://your.app/hooks/hydrafetch",
})

Errors

Every failure is a *hydrafetch.Error. Reach it with errors.As.

page, err := hf.Scrape(ctx, url, nil)
if err != nil {
	var apiErr *hydrafetch.Error
	if errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
		switch {
		case apiErr.IsAuth():           // 401, 403
		case apiErr.IsOutOfCredits():   // 402
		case apiErr.IsInvalidRequest(): // 400, 422, do not retry
		case apiErr.IsRetryable():      // 429, 5xx, already retried twice
		case apiErr.IsTimeout():
		}
		log.Println(apiErr.Code, apiErr.Status, apiErr.RequestID)
	}
	return err
}
Status Meaning Retry?
400, 422 the request is wrong no, it fails identically and costs another call
401, 403 bad or missing key no
402 out of credits no
404 the page does not exist no, this is an answer
429 rate limited yes, backed off automatically
5xx upstream failure yes, backed off automatically

A 503 on a scrape usually means the origin is genuinely unreachable, a dead domain or a broken certificate, and no amount of retrying fixes it.

Configuration

hf, err := hydrafetch.New("hf_...",
	hydrafetch.WithTimeout(120*time.Second),
	hydrafetch.WithMaxRetries(2),
	hydrafetch.WithBaseURL("https://api.hydrafetch.com"),
	hydrafetch.WithHTTPClient(myInstrumentedClient),
)

Cancellation works through the context you pass, so request deadlines and shutdown signals propagate as usual.
