Handles authentication, retries, and concurrency so you can scrape with less boilerplate. The ZenRows Go SDK (package `scraperapi`) is a lightweight client for the [Universal Scraper API](/universal-scraper-api/universal-scraper-api-setup). It wraps the same `https://api.zenrows.com/v1` endpoint you'd otherwise call with `net/http`, adding automatic retries, concurrency limiting, and a typed request builder on top. Every request parameter is a typed field on a `RequestParameters` struct instead of a loose map or dictionary, so the compiler catches a typo'd parameter name before your code ever makes a network call. Every method also takes a `context.Context`, so cancellation and timeouts work the same way they do with any other Go HTTP call. ## What the SDK handles for you * **Authentication** - your API key is set once in the client constructor, not repeated on every call. * **Retries** - optionally retry failed requests (network errors, `422`, `429`, `500`) with exponential backoff, without writing retry logic yourself. * **Concurrency** - cap how many requests run in parallel with an internal semaphore, to match your ZenRows plan's concurrency limit. * **Typed parameters** - every Universal Scraper API parameter (`js_render`, `premium_proxy`, `css_extractor`, and more) is a typed field on `RequestParameters`, not a hand-built query string. ## What you'll need Required by the SDK's `go.mod`. Create a free account to get yours, no credit card required. The SDK only covers the Universal Scraper API's GET, POST, and PUT modes; it doesn't expose PATCH or DELETE. For the full list of request parameters (`premium_proxy`, `css_extractor`, `autoparse`, and so on), see the [Universal Scraper API setup guide](/universal-scraper-api/universal-scraper-api-setup). Most parameters work the same way through `RequestParameters` regardless of method, with one exception: `JSRender` only works on GET requests, not POST or PUT. See [POST and PUT Requests](/universal-scraper-api/sdk/go/post-put-requests). Looking for a different language? ZenRows also maintains a Python SDK and a Node.js SDK. ## Explore the Go SDK Install the package and get your API key. Make your first request in a few lines of code. Submit forms or data payloads. Scrape many URLs at once with goroutines. Configure automatic retries and handle failures. What you get back from every request. Forward specific headers to the target site.
