Customize API Functionality

ScraperAPI enables you to customize the API’s functionality by adding additional parameters to your requests. The API will accept the following parameters:

Parameter
Description

render

Activate javascript rendering by setting render=true in your request. The API will automatically render the javascript on the page and return the HTML response after the javascript has been rendered.

Requests using this parameter cost 10 API credits, or 75 if used in combination with ultra-premium ultra_premium=true.

screenshot

Gves you the ability to take a screenshot of the target page through the use of the parameter screenshot=true. This parameter automatically enables JS rendering to get the full page content, before taking a screenshot.

country_code

Activate country geotargeting by setting country_code=us to use US proxies for example.

This parameter does not increase the cost of the API request.

premium

Activate premium residential and mobile IPs by setting premium=true. Using premium proxies costs 10 API credits, or 25 API credits if used in combination with Javascript rendering render=true.

session_number

Reuse the same proxy by setting session_number=123 for example.

This parameter does not increase the cost of the API request.

binary_target

Helpful when trying to scrape files or images. This tells our API that the target is a file.

keep_headers

Use your own custom headers by setting keep_headers=true along with sending your own headers to the API.

This parameter does not increase the cost of the API request.

device_type

Set your requests to use mobile or desktop user agents by setting device_type=desktop or device_type=mobile.

This parameter does not increase the cost of the API request.

autoparse

Activate auto parsing for select websites by setting autoparse=true. The API will parse the data on the page and return it in JSON format.

This parameter does not increase the cost of the API request.

ultra_premium

Activate our advanced bypass mechanisms by setting ultra_premium=true.

Requests using this parameter cost 30 API credits, or 75 if used in combination with javascript rendering.

output_format

The output_format parameter allows you to instruct the API on what the response file type should be. Valid options:

  • markdown
