More Reliable Scrapes and Fairer Billing
This release significantly improves scraping reliability with enhanced localization capabilities and advanced browser profile emulations. We have also overhauled our billing validation to ensure you are never charged for pages blocked by detection systems. Additionally, high-priority requests now experience significantly lower wait times during peak demand.
You can now list and view your support tickets programmatically using your standard API key. This allows you to integrate support data directly into your internal tools and scripts.
High-priority requests now bypass capacity wait times during periods of peak system load. This ensures your critical tasks maintain low latency even when resource demand is high.
We have added comprehensive system font emulations to our browser engine. This makes your requests look identical to standard workstations, greatly reducing detection on highly secure sites.
New Features
1Programmatic support ticket access
You can now list and view your support tickets programmatically using your standard API key. This allows you to integrate support data directly into your internal tools and scripts.
Improvements
6Faster high-priority requests
High-priority requests now bypass capacity wait times during periods of peak system load. This ensures your critical tasks maintain low latency even when resource demand is high.
Realistic system font emulation
We have added comprehensive system font emulations to our browser engine. This makes your requests look identical to standard workstations, greatly reducing detection on highly secure sites.
Localized browser headers
The API now aligns the browser language with the target domain and proxy country automatically. This eliminates header mismatches that trigger security challenges on country-specific sites.
Advanced geographic routing detection
The API now detects target countries from multi-segment URL paths, such as language-and-country paths. This automatically routes your requests through the correct country proxy for local content.
Stabler long-running scraping sessions
Scraping sessions are now more stable when reusing security cookies over long periods. Improved validation prevents session identifiers from being rejected due to configuration mismatches.
General bug fixes and improvements
Plus 12 internal improvements for better reliability and performance.
Bug Fixes
5Reliable challenge page retries
Fixed an issue where requests hitting non-empty security challenge pages failed to trigger auto-escalation. The platform now correctly detects these blocks and automatically applies retries.
Accurate timeout status codes
Fixed a bug where the API incorrectly returned an HTTP 200 success code on browser timeouts. You will now receive the true error code so your application can accurately handle retries.
Fair billing for blocked requests
Improved our core billing gate to detect when a target page has served a security challenge or block screen. This prevents you from being charged for failed attempts on heavily protected websites.
Successful asset and image downloads
Fixed a bug where sub-resource downloads like stylesheets or images from CDNs were missing a Referer header. The API now includes the source page as a Referer to prevent download blocks.
Accurate escalation billing checks
Fixed an issue where automatic browser escalation treated challenge screens as successful, billable scrapes. The system now recognizes these screens as blocked and triggers proper retries.
Plus 12 internal changes for stability and performance.
