Your API authentication token. Value: Token YOUR_API_KEY

Content-Type

string

required

Request body format. Value: application/json

Scraper Parameters

Set these parameters in the params object:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
email_enrichment	boolean	true	Find verified email addresses using Lobstr.io’s enrichment service. Costs 9 credits per enriched profile. No email found = 0 credits.
max_unique_results_per_run	integer	unlimited	Maximum unique results across all tasks in the run

Squid Settings

Configure general squid settings:

Setting	Type	Description
name	string	Display name for your squid configuration
concurrency	integer	Number of parallel scraping threads (default: 1)
export_unique_results	boolean	Export only unique results (deduplicated)
to_complete	boolean	Run until all tasks complete
no_line_breaks	boolean	Remove line breaks from results

Email enrichment (email_enrichment) is enabled by default. Disable it if you only need profile data and want to avoid enrichment credit usage.
