Global Parameter Values
Below is the list of global parameter values which work the same way in all data sources. On the right side menu you can see the full list of parameters and click on any of them to jump to its section.
A callback is a
POST request that we send to your machine, informing you that the data extraction task is completed and the result is ready to be downloaded. A callback URL, in turn, is the URL we will send the POST request to.Use the
callback_url parameter to specify the URL where we should POST our notification to.The
render parameter lets you enable JavaScript execution. Use it when the target website requires JavaScript to load the necessary content or when the site uses an anti-bot tool that utilizes JavaScript to fingerprint their visitors. JavaScript rendering takes more time to scrape the page. Please set timeout on the client side to 180 seconds if using Realtime or Proxy Endpoint integration methods.
There are two available values for this parameter: html (get raw output) and png (get a Base64-encoded screenshot).
