const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase'); const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_JS_TOKEN' }); const r = await api.get('https://www.marthastewart.com/example-page');

What breaks, and the fix
Of the failures since 14 Aug 2026, the site answered:
414: 75.9% of failures 414 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.
504: 11.1% of failures A 504 is a timeout: the page did not finish inside the limit. Retry once, and keep your own client timeout above the median answer time shown for this site.
517: 5.6% of failures A 5xx is the site failing, not the fetch. Retry after a minute.
Run it on a schedule
News moves by the hour. Poll the section or the sitemap for new links, then push the article URLs to the Crawler with a callback so the fetches are paced. The median answer on this site is 16.3s.
