Developer API
REST API for every account
Create an API key in your dashboard and submit URLs programmatically. Credits are charged from your balance (1 standard / 3 priority per URL). Optional drip-feed for natural pacing. Priority requires a paid deposit. Priority is available after your first paid pack.

Submit URLs
POST /submissions - max 500 URLs per request. Dedupes invalid URLs. Supports priority and drip-feed.

}'priority: true charges more credits per URL and uses the faster queue (requires a paid deposit).
dripfeed_days (0-30): spread the batch evenly over that many days. First URL sends immediately; the rest release on schedule. Credits are charged up front.
Existing campaigns: pass campaignId (cuid) or the same campaign name to add new URLs into a campaign you already created. If that campaign was Completed (all previous URLs indexed), it is automatically set active again when a new URL is added, until those new URLs are settled.
Success response includes creditCost, creditsRemaining, scheduledCount, and submissions[] with ids and status. Responses never include provider names, internal project/task IDs, or full API key secrets.
