The Batch endpoint allows to process multiple URLs at the same time, making it easier to get content quickly from very large sets of urls. You can start a batch of up to 10k urls at a time and retrieve the content after 5-8 mins. You can start many batches in parallel to do up to 1 million requests in around 30 minutes.

​
How to use the Batch endpoint

To initiate a new batch, specify the items to be processed with their custom_id which is the unique identifier and url which is the url from which you want to get the content. You can also provide optional parameters such as the country and parser to be used for the batch.

In the example below, we will create a batch of 10 Google Search URLs and retrieve the structured JSON of the search results with the pre-built parser @olostep/google-search

import requests
import hashlib
import time

API_KEY = "<YOUR_API_KEY>"  # Replace with your actual API key
API_URL = "https://api.olostep.com/v1"


# Step 1: Utilities
def create_hash_id(url):
    return hashlib.sha256(url.encode()).hexdigest()[:16]


def compose_items_array():
    urls = [
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=ecommerce+platform&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=payment+gateway&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=stripe&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=paddle&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=merchant+of+record&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=saas+payments&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=digital+river&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=subscription+billing&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=online+payments&gl=us&hl=en",
        "https://www.google.com/search?q=braintree&gl=us&hl=en"
    ]

    # Add the parser configuration to each item
    items = []
    for url in urls:
        items.append({
            "custom_id": create_hash_id(url),
            "url": url,
        })

    return items


# Step 2: Start batch
def start_batch(items):
    payload = {
        "items": items,
        "country": "US",
        "parser": {"id": "@olostep/google-search"}
    }
    headers = {
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    response = requests.post(f"{API_URL}/batches", headers=headers, json=payload)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()["id"]


# Step 3: Wait for completion
def check_batch_status(batch_id):
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}
    response = requests.get(f"{API_URL}/batches/{batch_id}", headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()["status"]


def wait_until_complete(batch_id):
    print("Waiting for batch to complete...")
    while True:
        status = check_batch_status(batch_id)
        print("Status:", status)
        if status == "completed":
            print("Batch completed!")
            return
        time.sleep(10)


# Step 4: Get items
def get_completed_items(batch_id):
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}
    response = requests.get(f"{API_URL}/batches/{batch_id}/items", headers=headers)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()["items"]


# Step 5: Retrieve content with format specified
def retrieve_content(retrieve_id):
    url = f"{API_URL}/retrieve"
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}
    params = {
        "retrieve_id": retrieve_id,
        "formats": ["markdown", "json"]
    }
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=params)
    response.raise_for_status()
    return response.json()


# Step 6: Run end-to-end flow
if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("Composing batch...")
    items = compose_items_array()

    print("Starting batch...")
    batch_id = start_batch(items)
    print("Batch ID:", batch_id)
    print(f"You can check the status of the batch at: {API_URL}/batches/{batch_id}?token={API_KEY}")

    wait_until_complete(batch_id)

    print("Fetching completed items...")
    completed_items = get_completed_items(batch_id)

    print("Retrieving content...")
    for item in completed_items:
        retrieve_id = item["retrieve_id"]
        print(f"\nRetrieving content for item {item['retrieve_id']}...")
        content = retrieve_content(retrieve_id)
        print(f"\n---\nURL: {item['url']}\nCustom ID: {item['custom_id']}\n")
        #print("Markdown:\n", content.get("markdown_content", "[No markdown found]"))
        print("JSON:\n", content.get("json_content", "[No JSON found]"))

        # If you want to see the parsed content specifically
        if "parsed_content" in content:
            print("\nParsed Content:")
            print(content["parsed_content"])

​
Response Format

When you run the above code, you will receive a response like the following

Since we passed the parser to retrieve the structured JSON and we are printing only that, the response contains:

  • json_content with structured search results including:
  • searchParameters: Information about the search query
  • knowledgeGraph: Detailed information about the search subject (when available)
  • organic: List of search results with title, link, position, and snippet
  • peopleAlsoAsk: Related questions that users commonly search for
  • relatedSearches: Suggested related search queries

If you don’t want the structured JSON but simply the markdown or html you can retrieve those from the retrieve endpoint.

​
Important Notes

If you want structured JSON you need to pass the specific parser to the API before making the requests. For example if you want to get the JSON from google search url you will pass this parser "parser": "@olostep/google-search" You can create your own parsers to retrieve the data you want from any page. Reach out to info@olostep.com to learn more.

​
Conclusion

The batch endpoint is useful if you need to get data from many URLs in a short period of time. You need to already have the list of urls you want to get the data from.

Common applications can be:

  • Price tracking services that monitor multiple e-commerce sites for price changes on products
  • Website monitoring tools that check for content updates across numerous pages
  • Data aggregation for concert organizers tracking ticket availability across multiple venues
  • Search engines gathering and indexing content from many websites simultaneously
  • News aggregators collecting articles from various publications
  • Real estate platforms monitoring property listings across multiple sites
  • Job boards aggregating openings from company career pages
  • Financial data services tracking stock prices and market information
  • Social media monitoring tools analyzing mentions across different platforms
  • Academic research gathering data from multiple sources for analysis

It’s better to use the batch endpoint if you want the content from 100 to 10k urls at a time. If you need to scrape less than 50 urls at a time we recommended using the scrape endpoint and submit the urls in parallel since it’s faster than the batch endpoint.
