What does the Web Scrape HTML API return?

The API returns the complete raw HTML source of any given URL, including the full document structure, scripts, and inline styles. The response includes the scraped HTML string and the final resolved URL.

How does it handle blocked or restricted websites?

The API uses automatic proxy escalation. If the initial request is blocked, it transparently retries through a rotating proxy pool to ensure maximum success rates across protected or geo-restricted sites.

What is the difference between HTML scraping and Markdown scraping?

The HTML endpoint returns the raw HTML source exactly as served by the target URL. The Markdown endpoint converts that HTML into clean, readable GitHub Flavored Markdown—ideal for feeding directly into LLMs or text processing pipelines.

Web Scrape {API}

Extract the full HTML source of any URL with a single API call.

Automatic proxy escalation means blocked sites are no longer a problem. Pass any URL and get back clean, complete HTML ready for parsing, indexing, or feeding into your pipeline.
