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.

Callback_url

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.

Parameter values

Use the callback_url parameter to specify the URL where we should POST our notification to.

Render

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.

Parameter values

There are two available values for this parameter: html (get raw output) and png (get a Base64-encoded screenshot).
Value
Description
html
The output will include an HTML result.
