Better Auto-Recharge and Extraction Accuracy
This release focuses on making your billing and auto-recharge experience much more reliable and transparent. We've also improved our scraping quality guards to ensure you are only billed for successful, meaningful data extractions.
We've completely overhauled our bypass engine to successfully navigate the most advanced JavaScript and browser integrity challenges. You will see significantly higher success rates and fewer blocks when scraping heavily protected websites.
We have implemented advanced safeguards to block unauthorized execution patterns and system access attempts. This ensures a more secure and isolated environment for running your scraping logic.
Extractions now verify the presence of core content, such as a valid page title, before marking a scrape request as successful. This ensures you only receive and pay for accurately parsed data rather than empty boilerplate templates.

Improvements
3General bug fixes and improvements
Plus 46 internal improvements for better reliability and performance.
Meaningful Data Extraction Guards
Extractions now verify the presence of core content, such as a valid page title, before marking a scrape request as successful. This ensures you only receive and pay for accurately parsed data rather than empty boilerplate templates.
Instant Auto-Recharge Credits
Auto-recharge now grants credits synchronously the moment your payment method is successfully charged. This completely eliminates previous delays where credits would temporarily pend after a successful charge.
Bug Fixes
9Faster Empty Response Handling
Legitimate target endpoints that return small JSON payloads or empty successful responses no longer trigger unnecessary retry loops. These requests now return immediately, saving you time and preventing false-positive block errors.
Accurate Empty Scrape Analytics
Scrapes that intentionally return empty content are now correctly classified as successful in your dashboard analytics. Previously, these were sometimes misreported as failures, which artificially skewed your daily success rate metrics.
Restored Batch API Access
We resolved multiple backend and authentication issues preventing users on standard plans from submitting batch scraping jobs. Batch job submissions are now fully operational when triggered via both the API and the dashboard.
Robust Markdown Extraction
The markdown extraction engine no longer incorrectly removes main page content when parsing sites with certain generic CSS classes. You will now receive complete and accurate markdown text for a wider variety of website layouts.
Reliable Configuration for Complex Credentials
You can now use special characters like semicolons in your environment variables without causing errors. This ensures that complex credentials no longer lead to deployment or connection failures.
Accurate Error Page Detection
Browser error pages, such as connection timeouts or unreachable hosts, are now correctly identified as failed requests. You will no longer be charged for attempting to scrape unreachable web pages.
Complete Billing History Records
Charges generated by your auto-recharge settings now correctly create fully detailed invoice records. Your billing history dashboard will accurately reflect all automatic top-ups alongside standard purchases.
Reliable Auto-Recharge Notifications
Account administrators will now correctly receive email notifications when auto-recharge is enabled or when an automatic payment is processed. This ensures your team is always informed about automated billing activity.
Stable Low Balance Recharges
We resolved an issue where configuring auto-recharge with a low target balance could sometimes trigger multiple consecutive small charges. The automated billing system now properly evaluates recharge thresholds for smaller deposit amounts.
Security
1Hardened Execution Environment Protections
We have implemented advanced safeguards to block unauthorized execution patterns and system access attempts. This ensures a more secure and isolated environment for running your scraping logic.
