We use synchronous Realtime integration method in our examples. If you would like to use Proxy Endpoint or asynchronous Push-Pull integration, refer to the integration methods section.

Optionally, you can include additional parameters such as user_agent_type, parse, render and more to customize your scraping request. Read more:
