What Can It Do?
Basic Web Scraping
// Claude can now do this:
scrape("https://example.com")
JavaScript-Rendered Pages
// For modern SPAs and dynamic content:
scrape_with_js("https://app.example.com", {
waitSelector: ".content-loaded"
})
Screenshots
// Capture any webpage:
take_screenshot("https://example.com", {
fullPage: true
})
Residential & Mobile Proxies
// Super requests with geo-targeting:
scrape("https://example.com", {
super: true, // Switch to residential & mobile pool
geoCode: "us", // Country code (defaults to "us" if omitted)
sessionId: 42 // Optional sticky session
})
Play with Browser Actions
scrape_with_js("https://app.example.com", {
playWithBrowser: JSON.stringify([
{ action: "wait", selector: ".cookie-banner", timeout: 2000 },
{ action: "click", selector: ".accept" },
{ action: "type", selector: "#search", value: "gaming laptop" },
{ action: "press", key: "Enter" },
{ action: "wait", selector: ".results" }
])
})
Screenshots & Async Callbacks
scrape_with_js("https://example.com/product", {
screenShot: true, // or fullScreenShot / particularScreenShot
returnJSON: true, // enforced automatically when screenshot flags are set
callback: encodeURI("https://webhook.site/your-endpoint"),
customHeaders: false, // override Scrape.do default headers
forwardHeaders: true
})
Convert to Markdown
// Get clean, readable content:
scrape_to_markdown("https://blog.example.com/article")
Advanced Controls
- Toggle headers/cookies:
customHeaders,extraHeaders,forwardHeaders,setCookies,pureCookies - Switch response modes:
transparentResponse,returnJSON,showFrames,showWebsocketRequests,output: 'markdown' - Combine screenshots with scraping by setting
screenShot,fullScreenShot, orparticularScreenShot(only one at a time; automatically forcesrender+returnJSON) - Receive results later via
callbackwebhooks (Scrape.do posts JSON payloads to the provided URL)
