FAQ

Web scraping API questions

When should I use the web scraping API instead of search?

Use search when you need to discover relevant pages for a query. Use the web scraping API when you already know the URL and need cleaned content or page-specific extraction controls.

Can it process JavaScript-rendered websites?

Yes. The browser rendering mode is designed for pages whose meaningful content appears after client-side JavaScript runs.

Which output should I use for an LLM pipeline?

Markdown or plain text usually minimizes cleanup for retrieval and generation workflows. Choose HTML when structural markup is part of your downstream logic.

Can I test extraction before integrating the API?

Yes. Use the interactive workspace on this page with a URL you are allowed to access, then reproduce the request from the API documentation.

Does “Unstoppable” mean every page can be extracted?

No. Unstoppable Web Scraping describes a resilient, fallback-driven extraction system. Authentication, paywalls, robots directives, legal restrictions, platform controls, and network conditions can still prevent extraction.
