The call
Product pages are the shape the accounts fetch most here, with the country and token that succeed most often. Replace the placeholder path with a real product URL from the site.
curl "https://api.crawlbase.com/?token=YOUR_TOKEN&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apple.com%2Fgb%2Fexample-page"from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'}) r = api.get('https://www.apple.com/gb/example-page') html = r['body']
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase'); const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' }); const r = await api.get('https://www.apple.com/gb/example-page');
