Command
"cmd": "request.get", "requestType": "request"
Cost
0.2 credit(s) per successful request.
Description
This is a raw HTTP GET request that does not launch a browser. It uses a consistent browser-compatible TLS configuration. It's useful for fast and cost-effective requests when browser-based rendering is unnecessary.
Pros
- Very fast (avg. ~5 seconds)
- Very cheap (0.2 credits per request)
- Low resource usage
- Low proxy consumption
- Good for simple websites and API endpoints
Cons
- Cannot interact with the browser
- Cannot handle browser verification flows
- Not suitable for JavaScript-heavy or SPA sites
- Not suitable for sites that require full browser rendering
When to Use
Use request.get with "requestType": "request" when:
- The website doesn't require JavaScript rendering
- Speed and cost are more important than complexity
- You don't need to interact with the page (no clicking, scrolling, etc.)
- You're accessing simple data, APIs, or static HTML pages
For dynamic websites that require JavaScript rendering or browser verification flows, consider switching to a full browser-based request.get without "requestType": "request".
