The same call, in code.

The capture above came back as markdown. These examples add a key, so you get browser rendering, proxies, and concurrency on archives.gov.

  apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY!,
});

await spider.connect();
const page = spider.page!;
await page.goto("https://archives.gov");

// No selectors, no schema. Spider reads the page and names the fields.
const data = await page.scrape();

console.log(data);
