Parameters

The following parameters are inferred from user prompts:

ParameterDescription
jsRenderRenders target URL in a headless browser.
geoSets the country from which the request will originate.
localeSets the locale of the request.
tokenLimitTruncates the response content up to this limit. Useful if the context window is small.
fullResponseSkips automatic truncation and returns full content. If context window is small, may throw warnings.

Examples

Scraping geo-restricted content

Query your AI agent with the following prompt:

Scrape peacock.com from a German IP address and tell me the pricing.

This prompt will say that peacock.com is geo-restricted. To bypass the geo-restriction:

Scrape peacock.com from a US IP address and tell me the pricing.

Limiting number of response tokens

If your agent has a small context window, the content returned from scraping will be automatically truncated, in order to avoid context-overflow. You can increase the number of tokens returned within your prompt:

Scrape hacker news, return 50k tokens.

If your agent has a big context window, tell it to return full content:

Scrape hacker news, return full content.
