Release Notes

Web Scraper API users can now bundle results across multiple Web Scraper API requests using the new Result Aggregator. This feature helps you reduce storage API calls and simplifies data implementation by bundling up high volumes of small files into larger batches. You can also customize automatic batch delivery with defined maximum file size, result count, and aggregation frequency for additional flexibility.

You can now visually inspect your Unblocking Browser sessions in real time. The new Session Inspection Tool provides a live, VNC (Virtual Network Computing) view of how pages render and how your workflow executes, helping you quickly diagnose complex issues and validate behavior that isn’t visible from the browsing logs.

We've made a few important changes regarding scraping Google Shopping:

• Token-based system

Google Shopping sources now use a token-based system, replacing the previous product_id workflow. The google_shopping_search source (with render enabled) now returns a token required for google_shopping_product requests.

• Pricing source changes

google_shopping_pricing source is no longer supported. To extract pricing data, you need to use the google_shopping_product source.

• Access additional listings

google_shopping_product source can now expand the "More Shops" panel to access additional listings by submitting the job with render: 'html' (only the first expansion is available).

We’ve expanded our Datacenter proxy network with five new locations: Latvia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Greece, and Austria. Per-traffic (per-GB) users can now route requests through these countries for more efficient access to regional web data and improved scraping performance.

A fast and lightweight Google SERP scraper is now available so you can get the essentials from Google search results – the top 10 organic listings and top news stories – without ads, snippets, or extra metadata. Receive the results in real-time (< 1 second) at scale (up to 1,000 requests/sec) with zero data retention.

Parser presets can now automatically adapt as target websites change. Enable self-healing to reduce the need for manual maintenance and improve success rates for your new and existing parser presets.
