FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Same shape of APIs — crawl, map, search, extract, screenshot — with richer scheduled snapshots, PDF/DOCX parsing, and an MCP server. Pricing starts at $1 per 1,000 pages crawled.

Yes. We run playwright-extra with the stealth plugin by default on every scrape. Pass stealth: false to disable, or configure your own residential proxy via WEBDATA_PROXY_SERVER.

Yes, by default on crawl endpoints. Set respectRobotsTxt: false to override for sites you own.

Yes. npx @stack0/mcp exposes crawl, map, search, extract, screenshot, and document tools over MCP with one environment variable.

Pass an actions array with type/click/press/wait/scroll/execute_js on any scrape, extraction, crawl, or search request. The page runs your actions first, then captures the content.
