Javascript Rendering

If you want to scrape a page that loads its data after Javascript execution then our API can fetch those pages by using headless browsers. To use this feature and render Javascript, simply pass dynamic=true, and our API will fetch that page by using headless Chrome browsers. The cost of using this feature is 5 credits and 25 credits if used with premium proxies.

By default, this parameter is always set as true in our API. So, if you want to avoid using this feature and reduce your cost from 5 credits per request to 1 credit per request then simply pass dynamic=false.

Usage

cURL

curl "https://api.scrapingdog.com/scrape?api_key=5e5a97e5b1ca5b194f42da86&url=http://httpbin.org/ip"

Python

import requests

url = "https://api.scrapingdog.com/scrape"

params = {
    "api_key": "5e5a97e5b1ca5b194f42da86",
    "url": "http://httpbin.org/ip"
}

response = requests.get(url, params=params)

print(response.text)

Nodejs

const axios = require('axios');

const apiUrl = 'https://api.scrapingdog.com/scrape';
const apiKey = '5e5a97e5b1ca5b194f42da86';
const targetUrl = 'http://httpbin.org/ip';

const params = {
  api_key: apiKey,
  url: targetUrl,
  dynamic: dynamic.toString(),
};

axios
  .get(apiUrl, { params })
  .then((response) => {
    if (response.status === 200) {
      console.log(response.data);
    } else {
      console.error(`Failed to retrieve data. Status code: ${response.status}`);
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error('An error occurred:', error.message);
  });

PHP

<?php

    echo 'cURL error: ' . curl_error($curl);
} else {
    $httpCode = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    if ($httpCode === 200) {
        echo $response;
    } else {
        echo 'Failed to retrieve data. Status code: ' . $httpCode;
    }

Ruby

require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
