By following these guidelines, you can build URLs for Baidu, Yandex, or Wayfair for your web scraping tasks.
Job parameter assignment to URL:
When forming URLs, please follow these instructions:
Encoding search terms: Search terms must be URL-encoded. For instance, spaces should be replaced with %20
, which represents a space character in a URL.
Calculating start page: The start_page
parameter now corresponds to the number of search results to skip. Use the equation limit*start_page-limit
to calculate the value.
Subdomain assignment: The subdomain value depends on the user agent type provided in the job. If the user agent type contains mobile, the subdomain value should be m
. Otherwise, it should be www
.
Query parameter: Depending on the subdomain value (m
or www
), the query parameter for the query term should be adjusted accordingly (word
for m
and wd
for www
).

When forming URLs, please follow these instructions:
Encoding search terms: Search terms must be URL encoded. For instance, spaces should be replaced with %20
, which represents a space character in a URL.
Start page adjustment: The value of the start_page
has to be reduced by 1. For example, if the desired starting page is 3, then the value in the URL, which represents the page number, has to be 2
.
Localization: If the domain is either ru
or tr
, an additional query parameter lr
is added with the geo_location
value. For other domains, the geo_location
value is under the query parameter rstr
, where a -
symbol is added before the value.
Unsupported: pages parameter is no longer supported. Jobs have to be submitted separately by changing the current page value in the URL.
