Steps
Register a ScrapMonster account and review Section 7 ("ScrapMonster Data, Index, and API") of the site's Terms of Use, which states API access and data feeds are part of the Services but that automated scraping/extraction without written permission is prohibited
Contact ScrapMonster to request the Enterprise Data & API Addendum referenced in the ToS, which governs enterprise/commercial API and data-licensing scope, redistribution rights, and technical access and supersedes the general Terms where they conflict
Scope which commodity categories you need — scrap metal prices by grade, LME/COMEX/SHFE futures mirrors, or catalytic converter/PGM scrap prices — since the site organizes them as separate price sections (e.g. /scrap-prices, /metal-prices, /catalytic-converter-scrap-price)
Negotiate refresh frequency and permitted internal-use-vs-redistribution terms, noting the ToS caps liability at the greater of fees paid in the prior 12 months or CAD $100 and disclaims data-accuracy warranties
Build your integration against the schema delivered under the signed addendum; there is no published self-serve endpoint reference prior to that agreement
Known gotchas
There is no public self-serve API signup or endpoint documentation — access requires a negotiated Enterprise Data & API Addendum, so budget for a sales/legal cycle before writing integration code
The Terms of Use explicitly forbid scraping/automated extraction and unauthorized redistribution of pricing data, and reserve ScrapMonster's right to audit public displays of licensed data
ScrapMonster prices reflect market indicators/index movements, not guaranteed local transactional prices — the ToS says they may differ from what an individual yard actually pays
