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.emag.ro%2Fexample-section%2Fexample-page%2Fexample-page"from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'}) r = api.get('https://www.emag.ro/example-section/example-page/example-page') html = r['body']
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase'); const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' }); const r = await api.get('https://www.emag.ro/example-section/example-page/example-page');
Parameters that matter
| Parameter | Set it to | Why |
|---|---|---|
country | leave unset | Most successful calls set no country (99.3%) and succeed at 99.4%. |
javascript | leave unset | Plain-token calls succeed at 99.4% and make up 97.6% of the traffic. A browser costs more and, on this site, buys nothing. |
URL patterns accounts fetch
| Pattern | Share of successes | JavaScript token | Country | Query parameters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
/{slug}/{slug}/{slug} | 50.3% | 21.9% | none | ref, provider, recid |
/search/{slug} | 40.5% | 100% | none | none |
Fields you get
A product page usually carries an ld+json Product block with name, price, currency and availability, and the same values in the visible markup. Read the block first; it changes less often than the layout.
What breaks, and the fix
Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:
403: 41.1% of failures A 403 is the site refusing the exit. Set the country the successful calls use and retry once; a second 403 means the URL itself is protected.
0: 12.1% of failures A status of 0 is a request that never got an answer inside the timeout. Retry once with the JavaScript token if the pattern needs a browser.
202: 7.5% of failures 202 means the site refused the fetch. Treat it like a block: retry once with the JavaScript token and the country the successful calls use, then stop.
511, 515: 11.2% of failures together A 5xx is the site failing, not the fetch. Retry after a minute.
Run it on a schedule
A catalogue refresh is a list of product URLs. Push it to the Crawler with a callback, let it pace the calls and retry what the site refuses, and read the results from Cloud Storage. The median answer on this site is 2.0s.
