More accurate Walmart e-commerce pricing
Parsed output from Walmart e-commerce sources now returns pricing data more reliably and consistently. If you're tracking competitor prices or monitoring product catalogs, you'll get cleaner numbers automatically with new requests using "parse": true.
Oxylabs Agent Skills
Oxylabs now offers official Agent Skills – structured skill files that teach AI agents and coding assistants work with Oxylabs products with significantly more accurate code and fewer hallucinations.
Citation retries for ChatGPT web search
ChatGPT source requests with search set to true now retry citation extraction automatically, roughly doubling citation coverage in the parsed citations field. The overall request success rate is unchanged, and no payload changes are needed for requests already using search: true.
Batch requests for LLM targets
LLM sources now support up to 5,000 prompts within a single batch request for chatgpt, gemini, and perplexity sources. Every prompt runs as its own job, so you get one job ID back per prompt. Learn more about batch requests here.
Improved success rates on hard-to-reach targets
We have rolled out improvements to how requests are handled on sites using CAPTCHA. Success rates on these targets should improve, particularly for jobs that previously saw elevated failure or retry rates. Learn more in our documentation.
Structured Google Scholar results
Google Scholar is now a dedicated parsed source in Web Scraper API. Set source to google_scholar and parse to true to receive parsed JSON directly.
Custom parser for Home Depot data
A dedicated parser for Home Depot product pages is now available through the universal scraping source. Enable parsing on your request to receive structured product data (such as title, price, availability, and specifications) instead of raw HTML.
Custom browser instructions for LLM sources
LLM sources now support custom browser instructions, allowing you to define actions (e.g., clicks, scrolls, waits) to control page behavior before content is extracted.
