Full documentation for one endpoint — parameters, credit cost, auth header, and a ready-to-paste curl example.

*Endpoint documentation*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `id` | no | Endpoint id as platform/endpoint (or a /v1 path) — e.g. `github/user` |
| `url` | no | Full endpoint URL as an alternative to id — e.g. `https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/github/user` |
| `method` | no | Ignored — all Monocrawl endpoints are GET — e.g. `GET` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. — e.g. `1` |

### Useful optional inputs

- `dry_run`: Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work. Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.

**Cost:** free — 0 credits.

```bash
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/utility/endpoint?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.monocrawl.com%2Fv1%2Fgithub%2Fuser" \
  -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
```
