# Public Async API reference with OpenAPI schema

2025-11-12 · feature

The Async API is now a first-class, fully documented surface area — with an OpenAPI schema you can import directly into Postman, Insomnia, or any client generator.

## What's in the docs

- **Full endpoint reference** under `https://q.scrape.do` covering `create-job`, `list-jobs`, `get-job`, `get-task`, `cancel-job`, and `get-me`.
- **Plugin support** documented for Amazon, Google Search, and Google Trends — submit them through Async for bulk runs.
- **OpenAPI 3 schema** kept in lockstep with the live API, importable for client codegen.

## Simpler auth

API-key auth scopes have been collapsed. A single header authenticates every Async API call:

```
X-Token: YOUR_TOKEN
```

No more per-endpoint scope decisions.

## Concurrency made explicit

The docs now spell out exactly how Async concurrency works: it runs in a **separate thread pool**, independent of your main API concurrency. Per-plan limits:

| Plan | Async concurrency |
|---|---|
| Free | 2 |
| Hobby | 2 |
| Pro | 5 |
| Business | 12 |
| Advanced | 60 |

Even when the main API is saturated, async jobs keep flowing in parallel.
