Quickstart

This guide walks you from zero to a working Ilmenite integration in under five minutes.

1. Get an API key

Sign up at ilmenite.dev and copy your key from the dashboard. Free tier includes 5,000 calls per month — no card required.

2. Install an SDK

# Python
pip install ilmenite

# TypeScript
npm install ilmenite

# Rust
cargo add ilmenite

3. Make your first call

from ilmenite import Ilmenite

client = Ilmenite(api_key="il_...")
result = client.scrape(url="https://news.ycombinator.com")

print(result.markdown)

4. What to build next

• Feed the markdown into your RAG pipeline.
• Swap scrape for crawl to walk an entire site.
• Use extract with a JSON schema for structured results.
• Plug the MCP server into Claude Desktop.
