Advanced Redirect and Notification Control
This release introduces detailed redirect chain tracking directly in both our API responses and dashboard UI, making it easier than ever to inspect request hops. We have also added support notification preferences to the dashboard and resolved critical email threading and routing bugs. These changes ensure higher scraping reliability, cleaner metadata parsing, and better control over your workflow.
You can now manage your support email preferences and mute individual tickets directly from the dashboard settings. This gives you complete control over which ticket updates and notifications reach your inbox.
API scrape results now include a detailed record of the redirect path taken to reach the final page. You can now inspect every individual hop and status code directly in your responses.

Improvements
4Simplified top-level scrape metadata
The final destination URL and redirect status are now top-level fields in API responses. This eliminates traversing nested metadata, making it much simpler to extract redirect information.
Fast-fail for plan tier limits
Scrape requests for domains exceeding your plan's scraping tier limits now fail fast. This prevents redundant connection attempts, reducing latency and preserving your valuable connection quotas.
Optimized rendering timeouts for heavy sites
Our scraper's rendering budgets have been optimized to prevent early timeouts on complex, slow-loading websites. This ensures sufficient execution time is allocated, boosting success rates.
General bug fixes and improvements
Plus 15 internal improvements for better reliability and performance.
Bug Fixes
5Locale-aware geographic routing
Scraping region-locked websites using global domains with locale-prefixed paths is now more reliable. The scraper infers geographic routing from the URL path, preventing unexpected 404 errors.
Accurate redirect status tracking
API responses now feature more accurate redirect detection by normalizing URLs before comparison. This eliminates false positive redirect flags caused by minor differences like trailing slashes.
Seamless ticket email threading
Replying to support notification emails now threads your messages directly into the original dashboard ticket. This keeps your communication organized and ensures no replies are lost.
Immediate tier warnings for async jobs
Async scraping requests returning a 202 status code now include tier-related warnings in response headers. This ensures you are immediately notified of subscription limits during background jobs.
Reliable credit and usage alerts
We resolved backend database errors affecting credit expiration and usage milestone notification triggers. You can now rely on receiving timely, accurate alerts regarding your credit balance.
