The capture above came back as markdown. These examples add a key, so you get browser rendering, proxies, and concurrency on toolforge.org.
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://toolforge.org");
// No selectors, no schema. Spider reads the page and names the fields.
const data = await page.scrape();
console.log(data);
await spider.close();import { Spider } from "@spider-cloud/spider-client";
const spider = new Spider({ apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY! });
const result = await spider.scrapeUrl("https://www.toolforge.org", {
