MrScraper

Run AI-powered, unblockable web scraping, data extraction with natural language via the MrScraper API

Actions

This skill supports:

• - Opening blocked pages through unblocker (stealth browser + IP rotation)
• Starting AI scraper runs from natural-language instructions
• Rerunning existing scraper configurations on one or multiple URLs
• Running manual workflow-based reruns
• Fetching paginated results and detailed results by ID

This skill is API-only and does not depend on bundled local scripts.

Base URLs

• - Unblocker API: INLINECODE0
• Platform API: INLINECODE1

Authentication

Unblocker API auth

Use query-param auth on unblocker endpoint:

• - INLINECODE2

Platform API auth

Use header-based auth on platform endpoints:

How to get MRSCRAPER_API_TOKEN?

An API token lets your applications securely interact with MrScraper APIs and rerun scrapers created in the dashboard.

Follow these steps in the dashboard:

1. 1. Click your User Profile at the top-right corner.
2. Select API Tokens.
3. Click New Token.
4. Enter a name and set an expiration date.
5. Click Create.
6. Copy the new token and store it securely as MRSCRAPER_API_TOKEN.
7. Use it in requests through the x-api-token header.

Security rule:

• - Never expose tokens in client-side code (browser/mobile app bundles).
• Store tokens in environment variables or server-side secret managers.

Notes from the auth docs:

• - The API key works for all V3 Platform endpoints.
• The same key can be used for endpoints on sync.scraper.mrscraper.com.
• For access to endpoints on other hosts, contact support@mrscraper.com.

Install and Runtime

• - No local install step is required by this skill document.
• No bundled scripts/ are required.
• Calls are direct HTTPS requests to the two base URLs above.

Data and Scope

• - Data is sent only to api.app.mrscraper.com and api.mrscraper.com.
• Responses may contain extracted page content and scrape metadata.
• This skill does not define hidden persistence or background jobs.
• Never expose tokens in logs, commits, or output.

Endpoints

1. Unblocker

• - Method: INLINECODE11
• URL: INLINECODE12
• Auth: token query parameter

Opens a target URL through stealth browsing and IP rotation, then returns HTML. Use this when direct access is blocked by captcha or anti-bot protections.

Query parameters:

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
INLINECODE14	INLINECODE15	Yes	—	Unblocker token (MRSCRAPER_API_TOKEN)
INLINECODE17

string | Yes | — | URL-encoded target URL | | timeout | number | No | 60 | Max wait in seconds (example 120) | | geoCode | string | No | None | Geographic routing code (example SG) | | blockResources | boolean | No | false | Block non-essential resources |

Request example:

CODEBLOCK1

Response example:

CODEBLOCK2

Notes:

• - Prefer explicit geoCode and practical timeouts for repeatable behavior.
• Only pass cookies when session-specific content is required.

2. Create AI Scraper

• - Method: INLINECODE28
• Host: INLINECODE29
• Path: INLINECODE30
• Auth: INLINECODE31

Create a new AI scraper run from natural-language instructions.

Payload parameters (for agent: general or agent: listing):

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
INLINECODE36	string	Yes	—	Target URL
INLINECODE37

string | Yes | — | Extraction instruction | | agent | string | No | general | The AI agent type to use for scraping: general, listing, or map | | proxyCountry | string | No | None | ISO country code for proxy-based scraping |

Payload parameters (for agent: map):

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
INLINECODE45	INLINECODE46	Yes	—	Target URL
INLINECODE47

string | No | map | The AI agent type to use for scraping (for this case it is map) | | maxDepth | number | No | 2 | Maximum depth level for crawling links from the starting URL.
0 = only the starting URL, 1 = +direct links | | maxPages | number | No | 50 | Maximum number of pages to scrape during the crawling process. | | limit | number | No | 1000 | Maximum number of data records to extract across all pages. Scraping stops when this limit is reached. | | includePatterns | string | No | "" | Regex patterns to include (separate multiple with \|\|) | | excludePatterns | string | No | "" | Regex patterns to exclude (separate multiple with \|\|) |

Request example:

CODEBLOCK3

Response example:

CODEBLOCK4

Notes:

• - Choose agent type correctly as each agent is specialized for specified use cases. Use general for most standard web scraping tasks. The go to agent if the user doesn't specify or the connected LLM is not confident about the type of page. But mostly used for scraping product page, but handles any type of page very well as well. Use listing for scraping listing pages like product listings, job listings, etc. Choose this if the connected LLM can confidently identify whether the given URL is a listing page. Use map for crawling and getting all subdomain or subpages of a website. Choose this if the user specifies that the given URL is a website and not a specific page. For map agent type, there is a special args that can be used to configure the scraping process.
• For the map agent, you can use special arguments to control crawling:
  maxDepth (lower values 1–2 for focused scraping, max 3 recommended),
  maxPages (limits total pages regardless of depth),
  limit (caps total records extracted),
  and includePatterns/excludePatterns (regex patterns separated by || to specify which URLs to crawl or skip, e.g., */products/*||*/blog/* or */cart/*||*.pdf).
  If includePatterns is an empty string, all URLs are included. If excludePatterns is an empty string, no URLs are excluded.
