-
context: cookies

Indicate whether you would like the scraper to follow redirects (3xx responses with a destination URL) to get the contents of the URL at the end of the redirect chain.
-
context: headers
Pass your own headers.
-
context: http_method
Set it to post if you would like to make a POST request to your target URL via E-commerce Universal Scraper.
get
context: session_id
If you want to use the same proxy with multiple requests, you can do so by using this parameter. Just set your session to any string you like, and we will assign a proxy to this ID, and keep it for up to 10 minutes. After that, if you make another request with the same session ID, a new proxy will be assigned to that particular session ID.
-
context: successful_status_codes
Define a custom HTTP response code (or a few of them), upon which we should consider the scrape successful and return the content to you. May be useful if you want us to return the 503 error page or in some other non-standard cases.
-
callback_url
URL to your callback endpoint. More info.
-
parse
true will return structured data, as long as the URL submitted directs to an e-commerce product page. Use this parameter in combination with parser_type parameter to use our AI-powered Adaptive Parser.
false
parser_type
Set the value to ecommerce_product to access our AI-powered Adaptive Parser.
-
- required parameter
If you are observing low success rates or retrieve empty content, please try using additional "render": "html" parameter in your request. More info about using render parameter can be found here.
