Poll for the result
Then call the task endpoint with that ID until the status is ready. Polling is free.

Endpoints and balance
The side panel lists every endpoint and what it costs, plus your unlock balance. Checking the balance is free.
Good to know
- Starting a scrape uses 1 unlock. Polling for the result and checking your balance are free.
- Regenerate replaces your key, and the old one stops working right away.
- Keep your key secret. Send it in the X-API-KEY header from your server, not from a web page.
