# Changelog

> What's new in the Hydrafetch API.

<Update label="July 2026" tags={["Web Extraction"]}>
  ## Trustworthy extraction

  Structured extraction now returns, per field, how confident it is and the exact passage a value came from. Turn it on with `showConfidence` and `showSources`.

  * Extract across a whole site: pass a `/*` scope in `urls` and every discovered page is merged into one result.
  * New `entities` primitive returns normalized people, companies, and products found on a page.
  * Every response reports the credits it consumed and how fresh the data is.
</Update>

<Update label="July 2026" tags={["Web Scraping"]}>
  ## Dedicated format endpoints

  Prefer a single, purpose-built route? Each output now has its own endpoint, alongside the flexible `/scrape`.

  * `POST /v1/web/markdown` for clean Markdown
  * `POST /v1/web/html` for cleaned main-content HTML
  * `POST /v1/web/raw-html` for unmodified page HTML
  * `POST /v1/web/links` for a page's links
  * `POST /v1/web/structured` for the page's own structured data

  They share every option and response shape with `/scrape`, so you can switch anytime.
</Update>

<Update label="June 2026" tags={["Web Scraping"]}>
  ## Search, crawl, and media

  * **Search** the web and get ranked results, each scraped to clean data. Filter by time, domain, and country.
  * **Crawl** a whole site as one asynchronous job, with completion webhooks so you do not have to poll.
  * **Media**: capture a full-page screenshot or collect a page's images.
</Update>

<Update label="June 2026" tags={["Platform"]}>
  ## Launch

  The first public version of the Hydrafetch API.

  * `POST /v1/web/scrape` takes one URL and returns clean Markdown and structured data.
  * `POST /v1/web/map` discovers every URL on a site.
  * Credit-based billing, charged only on success, with a live balance on every response.
  * API-key authentication through the `X-API-Key` header.
