- Publisher: WebReaderAPI (https://webreaderapi.com)

Changes to the API, prices, crawler behaviour and policies are listed here, newest first. A change to a promise made elsewhere on the site appears here too.

**Quick answer — What has changed at WebReaderAPI?**

On 22 October 2026, **WebReaderAPI** published its website, documentation, prices and policies. The API itself is not open yet; its launch will be the next entry on this page. Prices start at $3.75 for 10,000 pages and fall to $0.07/1K pages on the largest pack.

## 22 October 2026: site and documentation published

- **Website, prices and policies** went online: [pricing](https://webreaderapi.com/pricing/), [terms](https://webreaderapi.com/terms/), [privacy](https://webreaderapi.com/privacy/), [acceptable use](https://webreaderapi.com/acceptable-use/) and [refunds](https://webreaderapi.com/refunds/).
- **Documentation** for the `/read`, `/batch`, `/crawl` and `/credits` endpoints, with code for Python, Node.js and curl.
- **Crawler rules** published on the [bot page](https://webreaderapi.com/bot/): user agent `WebReaderAPI/1.0 (+https://webreaderapi.com/bot/)`, robots.txt token `WebReaderAPI`, respect for `ai-input=no`.
- **API status:** launch pending. Until the launch entry appears here, no API key can be bought.

## What counts as a change worth a dated entry?

Anything a customer or a site owner could rely on:

- a new endpoint, parameter or response field;
- a field renamed or removed (which only happens in a new version of the API, such as `/api/v2/`);
- a price, a credit rule or a refund rule;
- a change to how the crawler identifies itself or treats robots.txt;
- an incident that affected requests, with its time window.

## How are price changes handled?

A new price applies to packs bought after it is published here. Credits you already hold keep their value: they are counted in pages, not in dollars, and Prepaid credits never expire: unused pages stay on your account until you use them.

## How stable is version 1 of the API?

Within version 1, we may add fields and parameters, never rename or remove them. Code that reads the fields documented in the [response format](https://webreaderapi.com/docs/response/) keeps working. A breaking change would go to a new version, announced here before it goes live.

## How do I follow the changes?

Check this page, or read its Markdown version, which [llms.txt](https://webreaderapi.com/llms.txt) lists with the other pages of the site. Each entry keeps its date, so you can see what changed since your last visit. Questions go to support@webreaderapi.com.
