cURL

curl 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
--user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
        "source": "walmart_search", 
        "query": "iphone",

Python

import requests

# Get response.
response = requests.request(
    'POST',
    'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries',

# Instead of response with job status and results url, this will return the
# JSON response with the result.

We use synchronous Realtime integration method in our examples. If you would like to use Proxy Endpoint or asynchronous Push-Pull integration, refer to the integration methods section.

Optionally, you can include additional parameters such as user_agent_type, parse, render and more to customize your scraping request. Read more: Features
