I really did want to test...but I gave up. I didn't have a mashape account and I didn't want one at first, but it was necessary to test, so ok, let's do a signup with github... and then I'm asked for my credit card credentials for the freemium plan (wich is free)...so... sorry, but mashape went to far for me here. Isn't it possible to test with curl or another language (without going through the mashape process...) ?

I tried it myself and was surprised that I had to input my credit card as well...so I know where you are coming from but I'm afraid there's nothing in place to support bypassing mashape but in the future I'd have a way to sign up directly on my site. You won't get charged if you stay under the freemium limit. you'd request something like this: curl --include --request GET 'https://scrapeit.p.mashape.com/scrape/http://www.yellowpages.ca/search/si/1/Car+Alarm+Systems/Airdrie+AB' \ --header "X-Mashape-Authorization: your_mashape_key" and get back a JSON response like (too long so pasted a portion): [ 8, [ [ "\n\t\t\t\t\t\t1\n\t\t\t\t\t", "Auto Dream", "403-248-1566", "159-5120 47 St NE, Calgary, AB T3J\u00a04K3", "", "", "Map & directions", "Website", "Email", "Be the first to review", "Category:", "Car Alarm Systems", "", "" ], [ "\n\t\t\t\t\t\t2\n\t\t\t\t\t", "Advance Auto Security Mobile Ltd", "403-701-4388", "507-3208 8 Ave NE, Calgary, AB T2A\u00a07V8", "", "", "Map & directions", "Website", "Email", "Be the first to review", "Category:", "Car Alarm Systems", "", "" ], [ "\n\t\t\t\t\t\t3\n\t\t\t\t\t", "Autotemp Air & Sound", "403-287-2585", "Multiple locations\u00a0", "view addresses", "903 42 Ave SE, Calgary, AB T2G\u00a01Z1", "Map & directions", "Website", "Email", "Be the first to review", "Category:", "Car Alarm Systems", ", ", "Car Radios & Stereo Systems" ], [ "\n\t\t\t\t\t\t4\n\t\t\t\t\t", "Autotemp Air & Sound", "403-343-1415", "Multiple locations\u00a0", "view addresses", "15-7667 50 Ave, Red Deer, AB T4P\u00a01M6", "Map & directions", "Website", "Email", "(1 review)", "Category:", "Car Alarm Systems", "", "" ], etc....
