API reference

Authentication

Every billable call carries your API key. Keys are made in the console, shown once, and can be rotated or revoked at any time.

Send the key#

Send the key as Authorization: Bearer <key>. The remote MCP server also accepts it in X-Clawifi-Api-Key.

cURL
curl https://api.clawifi.dev/fetch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAWIFI_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://example.com"}'

Get a key#

Create an account at /signup. The Free plan includes 1,000 credits a month. Verify your email, then copy the API key the console shows you. It is shown once.

Rotate or revoke#

Create, rotate and revoke keys under API keys in the console. A revoked key stops working at once. If a key is exposed, rotate it.

Without a key#

Without a key, search_free, fetch_url, scrape_url (with passages) and map_site still work as a trial: 12 calls a minute and 50 a day per address, with the playground's caps. Past that the tool answers with a link to get a free key at https://clawifi.dev/signup.
