Rate limits and plan prices differ between docs pages.\n\n**ScrapingBee.** Dedicated Google, Amazon, Walmart, YouTube, ChatGPT and Gemini endpoints next to the general HTML API. remote-mcp.txt says the hosted MCP only takes the key as ?api_key= in its URL.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### ScrapeGraphAI\n\n1. Use `scrape` with the markdown format (1 credit) before reaching for `extract` (5 credits)\n2. Read `GET https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/agent/protocols` for current packs and prices before paying over x402\n3. MCP tool calls stop at 60 seconds. Use `crawl_start` and poll for anything longer\n4. Back off 1, 2 then 4 seconds on a 429 `rate_limit_exceeded`. No Retry-After is sent\n5. Use Orthogonal's x402 gateway when you need to pay per call without a key\n\n### ScrapingBee\n\n1. Send render_js=false for static pages and files. It cuts the cost from 5 credits to 1\n2. Use mode=auto with max_cost=25 to stop it escalating to 75-credit stealth requests\n3. Keep the MCP URL with ?api_key= out of logs and shared configs\n4. Back off exponentially on 429 from the MCP, since its concurrency is shared across customers\n5. Expect 404 and 410 from the target to be billed.
