Scrapes textual content from a given public website URL. Allows optional proxying and multiple output formats: HTML, Markdown, or link extraction. Requires a valid API key.

​
Non-proxy scrape

When proxying is not enabled, scraping is performed using standard data center IPs. Some websites may block such traffic. If proxy is disabled, the response includes: 
"response": {
    "success": true,
    "proxy_used": false
}

​
Proxy scrape

When proxying is enabled, the scraper follows these steps:
  1. Attempts a regular (non-proxy) scrape.
  2. If access is blocked, it retries using a proxy.
  3. If a CAPTCHA is detected, it attempts to solve it.
  4. The final result is returned to the client.
If proxy is enabled, the response includes additional diagnostic information: 
"response": {
    "success": true,
    "proxy_used": true,
    "bot_detected": true,
    "captcha_detected": true,
    "captcha_solved": true
}
