Satta Matka API vs scraping DPBoss — which should you use?
Satta Matka API is a hosted JSON API. Scraping DPBoss is a DIY HTML parser. For a live customer board, the API is the safer default.
| Criteria | Satta Matka API | Scraping DPBoss |
|---|---|---|
| Result format | JSON (open, close, jodi, status) | HTML / regex |
| Leftover Sunday/Friday board | Not stored as today | Usually reprinted |
| Official timing vs late print | Schedule stays (e.g. Kalyan 3:45 PM) | Clock often shifts to 4:02 PM |
| Auth | Bearer or X-API-Key | None |
| Coverage | Boston + Mobi fill, 200+ markets | One site’s cards |
| Cost (INR) | ₹0 trial, then ₹2,500/month | Your servers + breakage |
| Best for | Apps, webhooks, client sites | One-off research |
Bottom line: scrape if you are experimenting. Use Satta Matka API if customers see the board. See also what the API is and the docs.
