</html> Why teams use it
Keep your existing parser
Feed the raw markup straight into BeautifulSoup, Cheerio, an XPath engine or the extraction pipeline you already maintain.
Handle more complex sites with managed fetching
Requests route through MrScraper's proxy network, so you fetch pages without running residential proxies or headless browsers yourself.
Troubleshoot from the source markup
Inspect the exact HTML a target server returned before you define a JSON schema or a Markdown transformation.
How it works
- 1
Pass a URL
Send the URL-encoded target URL with your API token in the x-api-token header.
- 2
Fetch rendered or raw page content according to settings
Defaults return the markup as served. Render JavaScript for pages built in the browser, or wait for a selector to appear.
- 3
Receive HTML
The response is the page markup itself, unparsed.
- 4
Parse with your tools
Run your own selectors, diffs or audits over the markup.
Example use cases
Custom parser integration
Plug raw HTML into existing BeautifulSoup, Cheerio or custom extraction pipelines without changing them.
SEO/meta audits
Inspect meta tags, Open Graph data, canonical tags, JSON-LD schemas and heading structure.
Page-change comparison
Snapshot raw DOM content for historical auditing, compliance tracking or HTML diffing.
HTML FAQ
Answered from the product documentation.
Which parameter returns the raw HTML?
The Scrape HTML preset sets html=true, which returns the page markup in the response. The page to fetch goes in the url query parameter, URL-encoded.
Do I need my own proxies to fetch HTML?
No. Requests route through MrScraper's proxy network automatically. If you already run dedicated or third-party proxies, the Custom Proxy setting sends the request through your own proxy server instead.
Can I skip images and fonts to speed up a fetch?
Yes. Block resources skips non-essential assets such as images and fonts to improve performance. It is off by default and suits text-only or structured data extraction.
How do I fetch content that loads after the initial page?
Set Wait for selector to the element you need. The request waits until that element appears before extraction starts. No selector is set by default.
Can the response include the cookies a request generated?
Yes. Turn on Return cookies to get the cookies generated during the request, which helps when debugging sessions or reusing authenticated requests. It is off by default.
