Rendering and actions: render_js enables browser rendering; js_scenario defines page interactions before results return.[1]
Result handling: Examples return scraped content and browser data through the API result rather than exposing a browser connection.[1]
Credit model: A scrape can consume multiple credits depending on browser, proxy and protection configuration.[2]
Concurrency examples: Published monthly plans list 5 concurrent requests for Discovery, 20 for Pro, 50 for Startup and 100 for Enterprise.[2]
Quota expiry: Unused subscription quota does not roll over to the next subscription period.[2]

Billing: API credits per scrape; proxy network, rendering and protection settings affect consumption.
