Release Notes

Users can now request markdown output as an alternative option to HTML or parsed JSON results. Markdown responses provide an easy-to-read format, simplifying result integration into various content workflows and AI tools.

Added the ability to create, reuse, and manage custom parser presets through the Web Scraper API. Parser presets are hosted on our system, allowing you to easily use them across multiple scraping jobs. Additionally, you can monitor usage and performance metrics of each preset.

Customers using Datacenter Proxies with a traffic-based subscription will now receive email notifications when 80% and 100% of monthly traffic is used. Visit My Account → Email Notifications in the dashboard to select the thresholds you'd like to be notified about, add multiple recipient emails, or disable these notifications entirely.

We've added AI-Map to AI Studio, expanding our collection to five AI apps that you can control with natural language prompts. Built to tackle specific scraping challenges, these apps turn time-consuming manual processes into quick automated tasks that anyone can run. You can now access AI-Map alongside AI-Crawler, AI-Scraper, Browser Agent, and AI-Search.

Web Scraper API pricing now adapts to the complexity of your scraping needs. You'll benefit from lower rates when scraping websites without JavaScript rendering, along with reduced pricing for high-demand targets like Google or Amazon. Additionally, the free trial no longer has a time limit—giving you the flexibility to explore the product at your own pace.

You can now define your own file naming templates when saving results to Cloud Storage. Use job parameters and job_info variables to specify file names and directory paths. This improves file organization and identification.
