Secure Retries and Reliable Proxies
This release brings major enhancements to request reliability, preserving critical session headers and custom cookies during automatic retries. We have also hardened proxy fail-safe mechanisms to prevent IP leaks and ensure accurate regional targeting. Additionally, dashboard analytics and error reporting have been made more precise and dependable.
Your custom session cookies now retain their full security and scope attributes when requests are retried through browser rendering. This maintains session integrity and prevents unexpected logouts or session expiration during scraping.
Requests that automatically rotate proxies after encountering a block now strictly retain your requested country targeting. This prevents requests from falling back to default regions when a proxy swap occurs.
Your custom authentication, API, CSRF, and idempotency headers are now securely forwarded to target sites during retries. This ensures authenticated requests succeed without exposing headers globally.
Improvements
4Preserve Custom Session Cookie Metadata
Your custom session cookies now retain their full security and scope attributes when requests are retried through browser rendering. This maintains session integrity and prevents unexpected logouts or session expiration during scraping.
Geotargeting Preserved on Proxy Rotation
Requests that automatically rotate proxies after encountering a block now strictly retain your requested country targeting. This prevents requests from falling back to default regions when a proxy swap occurs.
Persistent Clearance Sessions
Successfully solved clearance tokens from detection systems are now seamlessly carried over to subsequent request attempts. This reduces repeated challenges, resulting in faster load times and higher success rates.
General bug fixes and improvements
Plus 10 internal improvements for better reliability and performance.
Bug Fixes
6Credentials Kept on Redirects
Authenticated GET requests that undergo same-origin redirects now reliably retain their authorization credentials. This ensures you do not receive unexpected 401 errors or public fallbacks during redirection.
Accurate Bring-Your-Own-Proxy Billing
Your custom proxies now maintain their correct classification during reactive proxy switches. This guarantees accurate pricing and prevents billing inaccuracies for requests using your own proxy pools.
Reliable Proxy Enforcement for Deferred Requests
Delayed or queued scraping tasks now strictly preserve their proxy requirements when resumed. This ensures requests never bypass designated proxies and fail closed if the required proxy is unavailable.
Accurate Error Reporting for Retries
When retrying requests through our browser rendering system, failed target website status codes are now correctly propagated. This prevents unsuccessful scrapes from being reported as successful.
Accurate Proxy Error Reporting
The API now reports the exact, final error reason when a proxy connection fails, clearing out outdated intermediate exceptions. This simplifies debugging and helps you implement more precise error handling.
Reliable Organization Dashboard Analytics
Resolved SQL data-type errors that caused organization-scoped analytics charts to fail on the developer dashboard. Your metrics and usage breakdowns will now load reliably.
Security
2Secure Header Delivery on Retries
Your custom authentication, API, CSRF, and idempotency headers are now securely forwarded to target sites during retries. This ensures authenticated requests succeed without exposing headers globally.
Strict Leak Prevention on Proxy Failure
Requests requiring proxies will now fail closed rather than falling back to unproxied connections if proxy rotation fails. This guarantees your actual IP address is never leaked or exposed to the target site.
