Prerequisites

​
Install the crate

Add evocrawl to your Cargo.toml: 
[dependencies]
evocrawl = "2"
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
serde_json = "1"

​
Search the web

use evocrawl::{Client, SearchOptions};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Client::new("fc-YOUR-API-KEY")?;

    let results = client.search(
        "evocrawl web scraping",
        SearchOptions { limit: Some(5), ..Default::default() },
    ).await?;

    if let Some(web) = results.data.web {
        for item in web {
            if let evocrawl::SearchResultOrDocument::WebResult(r) = item {
                println!("{} - {}", r.url, r.title.unwrap_or_default());
            }
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}

​
Scrape a page

let doc = client.scrape("https://example.com", None).await?;
println!("{}", doc.markdown.unwrap_or_default());

{
  "markdown": "# Example Domain\n\nThis domain is for use in illustrative examples...",
  "metadata": {
    "title": "Example Domain",
    "sourceURL": "https://example.com"
  }
}

​
Interact with a page

Scrape a page to get a scrapeId, then use the interact API to control the browser session: 
use evocrawl::{Client, ScrapeOptions, Format, ScrapeExecuteOptions};

let doc = client.scrape(
    "https://www.amazon.com",
    ScrapeOptions {
        formats: Some(vec![Format::Markdown]),
        ..Default::default()
    },
).await?;

let scrape_id = doc.metadata
    .as_ref()
    .and_then(|m| m.scrape_id.as_deref())
    .expect("scrapeId not found");

// Send a prompt to interact with the page
let run = client.interact(
    scrape_id,
    ScrapeExecuteOptions {
        prompt: Some("Search for iPhone 16 Pro Max".to_string()),
        ..Default::default()
    },
).await?;

let run = client.interact(
    scrape_id,
    ScrapeExecuteOptions {
        prompt: Some("Click on the first result and tell me the price".to_string()),
        ..Default::default()
    },
).await?;

println!("{:?}", run.output);

// Close the session
client.stop_interaction(scrape_id).await?;

​
Environment variable

Set EVOCRAWL_API_KEY instead of passing the key directly: 
export EVOCRAWL_API_KEY=fc-YOUR-API-KEY

let api_key = std::env::var("EVOCRAWL_API_KEY")?;
let client = Client::new(api_key)?;
