Request samples

In the samples below, we make a request to retrieve a search results page for the query iphone.

curl 'https://realtime.oxylabs.io/v1/queries' \
--user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
        "source": "lowes_search",
        "query": "iphone",
        "store_id": 2752,
        "free_delivery": true,
        "delivery_zip": "22313",
        "render": "html"
    }'
