# Quickstart

> [!WARNING]
> The Web Content API is **deprecated**. Use the [News, Blogs & Forums APIs](news-blogs-forums-overview) instead - same content, one endpoint per content type, and where new features land.

## 1. Get your token

Find your API `token` in your Webz.io dashboard. Every request needs it.

## 2. Run a query

`GET`

```bash
https://api.webz.io/filterWebContent?token=YOUR_TOKEN&q=title:bitcoin language:english
```

In real requests, URL-encode the `q` value.

## 3. Read the response

The JSON response contains a `posts` array plus paging fields:

```json
{
  "posts": [ ... ],
  "totalResults": 12453,
  "moreResultsAvailable": 12353,
  "next": "/filterWebContent?token=YOUR_TOKEN&ts=1748000000000&q=...",
  "requestsLeft": 989
}
```

## 4. Get the next page

Append the `next` value to `https://api.webz.io` and call it again. See [Pagination](web-content-pagination).

> [!TIP]
> Default coverage is the last 3 days. To go further back set `ts`, and beyond 31 days set `allowNewsHistory=true` - see [Time Range & News History](web-content-time-range).
