What’s New

Our new Documentation Hub improves on our previous documentation with:

  • Unified Platform Documentation: Coverage for both urlscan.io and urlscan Pro in one location
  • Advanced Search: Quickly find information across all documentation
  • Interactive OpenAPI Documentation: Complete API reference with live testing capabilities
  • AI-Powered Assistant: Get instant answers and code examples from our documentation chatbot
  • Comprehensive Guides: Step-by-step tutorials for common use cases

Previously, documentation was fragmented across multiple locations, creating challenges for users trying to understand platform capabilities and navigate between different systems.

Interactive OpenAPI Documentation

The complete OpenAPI specification provides:

  • Live API Testing: Execute calls directly with your API keys
  • Request/Response Examples: Real-world examples for every endpoint
  • Parameter Documentation: Detailed descriptions of all parameters
  • Error Code Reference: Comprehensive error handling information
  • Code Generation: Generate client code in multiple languages
  • Platform Indicators: Clear labeling of endpoint availability
