Read `Scrape.do-Request-Cost` from the response headers. Some domains cost 10 to 200 credits whatever you pass\n4. Treat a 429 as too many concurrent requests and wait for one to finish\n5. Keep URLs with `token=` out of logs and shared traces\n\n### ZenRows\n\n1. Start with mode=auto and let it escalate. Force js_render or premium_proxy only when you know the site needs it\n2. Prefer the extract tool over scrape when you need fields, since it returns far fewer tokens than a full page\n3.
