How it works
Enter your HTTPS endpoint under Settings → Data API. Data is sent only when you explicitly click “Send to my API.” WebGather does not host or control your destination system.
Request
POST https://your-api.example.com/webgather Content-Type: application/json
The current build uses the extension's existing JSON payload. During integration, log a test request first and map the actual fields into your database.
Security recommendations
- Use HTTPS in production;
- Do not expose long-lived secrets in frontend pages;
- Create a dedicated API token for WebGather requests;
- Enforce authentication, payload size limits, and rate limits;
- Test before writing into production databases.
CORS
If the request is sent directly from the extension, your endpoint must permit the appropriate extension origin or use another architecture you control. Avoid broad * CORS together with sensitive credentials.
Category data
When sending to a custom API, both Category Menu and Other Extracted Content are included. The visual partition only affects which rows go into the automatic Menu Excel export.
