# Get started with OnyxIQ in minutes

> Sign up for a free OnyxIQ account, check your credit balance, and run your first OpenClaw web scrape in minutes — no card required.

You can go from zero to your first scrape in under five minutes. This guide walks you through creating an account, checking your credit balance, and using OpenClaw to extract structured data from a web page — both through the web UI and directly via the API.

<Note>
  Credits never expire. Your free 100 credits and any top-ups you purchase stay on your account indefinitely.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [onyxiq.in/login](https://onyxiq.in/login) and sign up with your email address. No credit card is required.

    Every new account receives **100 free credits** instantly. You can start using OnyxIQ tools right away.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check your credit balance">
    After signing in, visit your [dashboard](https://onyxiq.in/dashboard) to see your current credit balance. Your balance is shared across all OnyxIQ products, so every credit you earn or purchase applies everywhere.

    If you want to add more credits or subscribe to a plan, go to [onyxiq.in/credits](https://onyxiq.in/credits).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scrape a page with OpenClaw">
    Head to [onyxiq.in/products/openclaw](https://onyxiq.in/products/openclaw), enter any public HTTP or HTTPS URL, and click scrape. OpenClaw costs **10 credits per scrape**. If the page cannot be fetched, your credits are automatically refunded.

    The result includes the page title, meta description, H1, subheadings, up to 30 links, and up to 3,000 characters of body text.

    You can also call the scrape endpoint directly from your own code. Make sure you are signed in first — the API uses your session cookie for authentication.

    <CodeGroup>
      ```bash cURL theme={null}
      curl --request POST \
        --url https://onyxiq.in/api/openclaw/scrape \
        --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        --header 'Cookie: sb-<project-ref>-auth-token=<your-session-cookie>' \
        --data '{"url": "https://example.com"}'
      ```

      ```javascript JavaScript (fetch) theme={null}
      const response = await fetch('https://onyxiq.in/api/openclaw/scrape', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
        credentials: 'include', // sends session cookie automatically in browser
        body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://example.com' }),
      });

      const result = await response.json();
      console.log(result);
      ```
    </CodeGroup>

    A successful response looks like this:

    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "ok": true,
      "data": {
        "url": "https://example.com",
        "title": "Example Domain",
        "description": "",
        "h1": "Example Domain",
        "headings": [],
        "links": [
          { "text": "More information...", "href": "https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved" }
        ],
        "text": "Example Domain This domain is for use in illustrative examples...",
        "scrapedAt": "2026-05-18T10:00:00.000Z"
      },
      "creditsUsed": 10,
      "remainingBalance": 90
    }
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore plans">
    When your free credits run low, visit [onyxiq.in/credits](https://onyxiq.in/credits) to compare subscription plans or purchase a one-time top-up. The Builder plan (\$49/mo, 5,000 credits) is recommended for most users.

    Remember: credits never expire, so top-ups are a low-risk way to keep going without committing to a monthly plan.
