Multi-Browser Scraping and Enhanced Extraction
You can now use alternative browser engines to increase success rates on highly protected websites. This release also introduces smarter iframe extraction and more resilient session handling for complex scraping workflows.
You can now select Firefox as the underlying engine for your scraping requests. This provides a fresh browser fingerprint that can bypass restrictions on sites that specifically target or block standard automated browser signatures.
The extraction engine now recursively identifies and inlines nested iframes, including those dynamically injected by JavaScript after the page loads. This ensures you capture the full data profile of a page without missing content hidden within sub-frames.
We have refined our browser fingerprinting system to ensure that generated identities perfectly match the selected browser engine. This increased coherence leads to higher success rates and more consistent behavior when accessing domains with advanced bot detection.
New Features
2Alternative Firefox Browser Engine
You can now select Firefox as the underlying engine for your scraping requests. This provides a fresh browser fingerprint that can bypass restrictions on sites that specifically target or block standard automated browser signatures.
Deep Iframe Content Extraction
The extraction engine now recursively identifies and inlines nested iframes, including those dynamically injected by JavaScript after the page loads. This ensures you capture the full data profile of a page without missing content hidden within sub-frames.
Improvements
5General improvements
This release includes general improvements and maintenance updates.
Coherent Browser Identity Matching
We have refined our browser fingerprinting system to ensure that generated identities perfectly match the selected browser engine. This increased coherence leads to higher success rates and more consistent behavior when accessing domains with advanced bot detection.
Reliable Synchronous API Calls
Wait times for synchronous scraping requests have been optimized to ensure connections remain stable through external network gateways. This prevents premature connection drops and ensures you receive data even for extraction tasks that take longer to complete.
Smart Playground Error Diagnostics
The Playground now features improved error classification and provides actionable suggestions when a request fails. New users can also instantly test their credentials via a direct link in the dashboard immediately after creating an API key.
Resilient Sticky Session Handling
Long-lived sessions now include intelligent failure recovery, ensuring that transient errors do not lead to unnecessary session rotation. This maintains a consistent browsing context and prevents data loss during complex, multi-step scraping interactions.
Bug Fixes
1General stability and reliability fixes
This update includes fixes for proxy rotation logic, onboarding workflows, and more accurate reporting for domain-level blocks. These improvements ensure a smoother experience from initial integration to production scaling.
