FAQs

How many URLs can I process at once? You can supply a single URL or a long list. The scraper processes each independently and merges the output into one JSON array.

Does the scraper require proxies? Proxies are optional but helpful when running large batches, as they keep requests stable and reduce the chance of throttling.

What format is the output saved in? All results are delivered as structured JSON, ensuring easy import into databases or Python workflows.

What happens if a page fails to load? The scraper retries the request and gracefully handles unexpected responses so the run can continue without interruption.
