HTTP API- Rendering and response
- The /v2/general endpoint returns HTML. The request reference and product page now agree that browser defaults to true; set browser=false for static pages (1 credit instead of 10). return_page_source=true skips JavaScript rendering while using the browser.[1][3]
- Timeout
- The request reference and product page both document a 60-second default timeout with a 5–60-second range.[1][3]
- Credit examples
- The reviewed credit table lists JavaScript-rendered datacenter requests at 10 credits and rendered residential requests at 125 credits.[2]
- Usage inspection
- The Ant-credits-cost response header reports request credit consumption; unused credits expire at the subscription boundary.[2]
Billing: API credits based on browser use and proxy network.
Outputs: html
Documented for: Python, Node.js, Curl
