# Geekflare

> Geekflare is an API platform for AI agents and web automation. One account and one API key give access to multiple endpoints covering AI-ready web scraping, web search, screenshots, PDF generation, and website/DNS/security testing — all returning structured JSON or clean Markdown. No proxies or headless browsers to manage; Geekflare handles CAPTCHAs, JS rendering, and proxy rotation. Free tier: 500 credits/month, no credit card required.

Base URL for all API requests: `https://api.geekflare.com`. Authentication is a single API key sent as a header <x-api-key>, usable across every endpoint below — there is one credit pool for the whole suite, not per-endpoint keys or plans. Full parameter-level reference and a machine-readable OpenAPI spec live at docs.geekflare.com and have their own llms.txt (linked below).

## Core API Endpoints

### AI & Scraping
- [Web Scraping API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/webscraping): Extract full page content from any URL as LLM-ready Markdown, JSON, or HTML. Supports JavaScript rendering, stealth mode (CAPTCHA bypass), and proxy routing. The recommended endpoint for RAG ingestion and feeding LLM context.
- [Search API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/search): Structured web or news search results in JSON, Markdown, or HTML, stripped of ads and HTML noise. Supports AI-grounded answers, search-with-scrape, image search, and time-based filtering — built for powering AI agents with live web access.
- [Meta Scraping API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/metascraping): Extract Open Graph tags, JSON-LD schema, titles, and descriptions from a page without parsing the full DOM.
- [Screenshot API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/screenshot): Full-page or viewport screenshots of any URL. Supports device emulation, ad blocking, CAPTCHA bypass, proxy routing, Retina quality, and AI-friendly link highlighting.
- [PDF Generator API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/pdf-generator): Convert any URL into a high-fidelity PDF document for invoices, reports, and archiving.

### Website Testing
- [Broken Link Checker API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/broken-link): Crawl a page to find dead internal and external links (404s and other errors).
- [Lighthouse API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/lighthouse): Run Google Lighthouse audits (performance, SEO, accessibility) and return results as JSON or HTML.
- [Load Time API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/load-time): Measure page load speed, including TTFB, DNS lookup, and connection timing.
- [URL Redirection API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/url-redirect): Trace the full redirect chain of a URL with status codes and headers — useful for affiliate-link auditing and phishing detection.
- [Site Uptime / Status API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/site-status): Verify a website is reachable from the cloud and check its HTTP status globally.

### DNS & Security
- [DNS Records API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/dns-records): Query A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, CAA, SOA, and SRV records for any domain — useful for SaaS domain verification and SPF/DKIM/DMARC auditing.
- [TLS Scan API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/tls-scan): Analyze SSL/TLS certificate validity, issuer details, supported versions, and expiration dates.
- [Port Scanner API](https://docs.geekflare.com/api/endpoint/port-scanner): Scan a domain or IP for open TCP ports.
