> ## Agent Instructions
> Perceptlayer is a web data API: one key for structured JSON from about 250 websites. Base URL https://api.perceptlayer.com.
> Send the key in the X-API-Key header. GET parameters go in the query string; POST parameters in a JSON body.
> A successful call costs the credits on its endpoint (X-Credits-Used); failed calls cost nothing. Errors are {"error": {"code", "message", "request_id"}}.
> AI agents can use every endpoint through the MCP server at https://api.perceptlayer.com/mcp (tools search_endpoints, get_endpoint, call_endpoint), with Authorization: Bearer <key>.
> Get a free key at https://perceptlayer.com/signup.
