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&country=CA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newegg.com%2Fexample-section%2Fp%2Fexample-page"from crawlbase import CrawlingAPI api = CrawlingAPI({'token': 'YOUR_TOKEN'}) r = api.get('https://www.newegg.com/example-section/p/example-page', {'country': 'CA'}) html = r['body']
const { CrawlingAPI } = require('crawlbase'); const api = new CrawlingAPI({ token: 'YOUR_TOKEN' }); const r = await api.get('https://www.newegg.com/example-section/p/example-page', { country: 'CA' });
Parameters that matter
| Parameter | Set it to | Why |
|---|---|---|
country | CA | 50.8% of successful calls set it and they succeed at 100%; calls without a country succeed at 99.7%. |
javascript | leave unset | Plain-token calls succeed at 99.9%, JavaScript-token calls at 100%. Both work; start without the browser and switch per URL pattern where the table below shows it. |
URL patterns accounts fetch
| Pattern | Share of successes | JavaScript token | Country | Query parameters |
|---|---|---|---|---|
/{slug}/p/{slug} | 84.0% | 58.9% | CA | none |
/p/{slug} | 15.5% | 64.5% | CA | 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:
504: 23.5% 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.
0: 12.6% 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.
400: 8.4% of failures 400 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.
999: 6.7% of failures 999 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.
591: 41.2% of failures 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 4.2s.
