Yes. CrawlerAPI uses headless browsers (Playwright) to fully render JavaScript-heavy pages before extracting data. This handles SPAs, lazy-loaded content, infinite scroll, and dynamically generated elements.
Results can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, or Excel (XLSX). The API also returns data as structured JSON by default, which you can transform into any format you need.
CrawlerAPI uses proxy rotation, automatic User-Agent rotation, and intelligent rate limiting to help avoid blocks.
Yes. You can schedule any template to run on a recurring basis -- hourly, daily, weekly, or with a custom cron expression. Results are stored and can be delivered via webhook to your endpoint.
Templates support single URL processing. Use the API for batch operations.
Most templates return results in 2-10 seconds for a single URL. JavaScript-rendered pages may take slightly longer (5-15 seconds). Batch jobs run in parallel for maximum throughput.
No coding is required. Templates provide a simple web interface where you paste a URL and click Run. For developers who want automation, we also offer a full REST API with code examples in Python, Node.js, and cURL.
Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, as affirmed by the US Ninth Circuit in hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn. However, you should always respect each website's Terms of Service and robots.txt. CrawlerAPI provides the tools -- you are responsible for using them in compliance with applicable laws.
