We have not stored a capture of author.today, so there is nothing real to show here yet. Run the call above and you get the live page back as markdown.
The same call, in code.
The keyless call above returns markdown. These examples add a key, so you get browser rendering, proxies, and concurrency on author.today.
import { SpiderBrowser } from "spider-browser";
const spider = new SpiderBrowser({
apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY!,
});
await spider.connect();
const page = spider.page!;
await page.goto("https://author.today");
// No selectors, no schema. Spider reads the page and names the fields.

return_format: "markdown",
});
