# Web Scraper API features

Our all-in-one [Web Scraper API](https://oxylabs.io/products/scraper-api/web) includes a collection of built-in features designed to simplify, scale-up, and automate public data extraction workflows. Refer to the following list of features and visit their documentation pages for in-depth configuration steps.

### OxyCopilot <a href="#h_f3f6c361dc" id="h_f3f6c361dc"></a>

Develop web scrapers and parsers with an AI-powered feature, [OxyCopilot](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/oxycopilot-beta), via the Web Scraper API Playground by simply providing target URLs and writing your needs in plain English. To learn more about how OxyCopilot works and explore ready-to-use prompts, visit the [OxyCopilot prompts and code samples library](https://oxylabs.io/resources/prompts-code-samples) available on our website.

### Cloud integration <a href="#h_452d7a0bf5" id="h_452d7a0bf5"></a>

The [cloud integration](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/cloud-storage) feature enables you to automatically retrieve job results directly to your [Amazon S3](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/cloud-storage#amazon-s3), [Google Cloud Storage](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/cloud-storage#google-cloud-storage), [Alibaba OSS](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/cloud-storage#alibaba-cloud-object-storage-service-oss), or [other S3-compatible storage](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/cloud-storage#other-s3-compatible-storage). This way, you don’t have to make additional requests to get the data from us.

### Batch queries <a href="#h_53624261ce" id="h_53624261ce"></a>

For efficient scraping operations, Web Scraper API allows you to submit up to 5,000 `query` or `URL` parameters per batch. Head to our [documentation](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/integration-methods/push-pull#batch-query) to learn more.

### Custom Parser <a href="#h_e55447383b" id="h_e55447383b"></a>

When you want to parse the HTML of a web page, but there's no dedicated parser for the target, you can do so with [Custom Parser](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/custom-parser) by crafting your own parsing and data processing logic. You may also create, modify, and reuse [Parser Presets](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/custom-parser/parser-presets) by hosting them on our system. Self-healing makes the best use of our fast-adapting infrastructure and keeps your scraping operations working effectively as the target websites change.

### Scheduler <a href="#h_2ee27fadb9" id="h_2ee27fadb9"></a>

For automatic execution of recurring scraping and parsing jobs, you can leverage the [Scheduler](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/features/scheduler) feature to create schedules. We recommend using this feature together with cloud integration to retrieve data at specified intervals.

### Custom browser instructions

Set up [custom browser instructions](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/features/js-rendering-and-browser-control/browser-instructions) to [render JavaScript](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraper-apis/web-scraper-api/features/js-rendering-and-browser-control/javascript-rendering) on web pages and execute browser actions like clicking, scrolling, and text input. Define them manually, via our step-by-step Playground interface, or let AI generate them from a plain English prompt.

### XHR request capturing

Sometimes it is more convenient to extract the required data from one or more of the Fetch/XHR requests that a browser makes while loading the web page, rather than parsing the HTML. [Fetch/XHR request capturing](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/output-types/capturing-network-requests-fetch-xhr) is a feature that lets you retrieve these requests as structured JSON data from dynamic content sources.

### Markdown output

This feature allows you to [request markdown output](https://developers.oxylabs.io/scraping-solutions/web-scraper-api/features/result-processing-and-storage/output-types/markdown-output) as an alternative option to HTML or parsed JSON results. These responses provide an easy-to-read format, simplifying result integration into various content workflows and AI tools. Markdown format is especially useful when working with LLMs due to its light weight and clear syntax.\
