❓ Extensive FAQ
General Capabilities
Q: Can this scraper handle websites rendered with JavaScript (React, Vue, etc.)? A: Yes. Our engine uses a full headless browser to render the page exactly as a user sees it. It executes all JavaScript, waits for dynamic content to load, and then performs the extraction. It is accurate even on complex SPAs.
Q: Do I need to know coding, CSS selectors, or XPath? A: Absolutely not. This is an AI-first tool. You simply describe what you want in English (e.g., "product price"), and the AI visually interprets the page to find it. It is robust to layout changes that would break traditional scrapers.
Q: How reliable is the extraction? A: Extremely reliable. Because it understands the meaning of the content rather than just the code structure, it continues to work even if the website completely redesigns their HTML class names.
Q: Does it support multiple languages? A: Yes. The AI understands over 100 languages. You can input instructions in English to scrape a website in Japanese, Spanish, or German, and it will correctly identify and extract the fields.
Technical & Anti-Blocking
Q: Do I need to provide my own proxies? A: No. Premium proxies are included in the $0.015/event pricing. We automatically manage proxy rotation, session creation, and specialized unlocking infrastructure to ensure high success rates.
Q: Can it solve CAPTCHAs? A: Our system employs advanced techniques to avoid triggering CAPTCHAs in the first place. For pages that do present challenges, the browser layer handles many common hurdles automatically.
Q: What is the success rate? A: We typically see success rates above 98% for publicly accessible pages. If a page fails, our error handling ensures you aren't charged for that event.
Data & Output
Q: What output formats are supported? A: The primary output is JSON, which is the industry standard for structured data. You can easily export this from Apify to CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML table formats.
Q: Can I integrate this with other tools? A: Yes. Apify offers native integrations with Zapier, Make (Integromat), Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, and more. You can automate your entire workflow: Scrape -> Clean -> Email.
Q: Is my data private? A: Yes. Your extraction instructions and the resulting data are private to your account. We adhere to strict privacy and security standards.
