The call
Category and listing 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 section URL from the site.
curl "https://api.crawlbase.com/?token=YOUR_TOKEN&country=DE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lego.com%2Fen-us%2Fcategories%2Fexclusives"from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'}) r = api.get('https://www.lego.com/en-us/categories/exclusives', {'country': 'DE'}) html = r['body']
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase'); const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' }); const r = await api.get('https://www.lego.com/en-us/categories/exclusives', { country: 'DE' });
Parameters that matter
| Parameter | Set it to | Why |
|---|---|---|
country | DE | 95.3% of successful calls set it and they succeed at 95.6%; calls without a country succeed at 83.7%. |
javascript | leave unset | Plain-token calls succeed at 95.4% and make up 99.6% of the traffic. A browser costs more and, on this site, buys nothing. |

What breaks, and the fix
Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:
403: 82.5% 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: 6.5% 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: 5.0% 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.
Run it on a schedule
Walk the listings on a cadence to find new items, then push the item URLs to the Crawler with a callback; it paces the calls and retries what the site refuses. The median answer on this site is 2.8s.
