Use scrape_markdown for reading pages and save the browser_* tools for clicks and logins, since browser time bills by the hour\n2. Call browser_close when done so the session and its billing stop\n3. Set limit on crawl_start. Unset, it defaults to 10,000 pages\n4. Crawls are asynchronous. Call crawl_start, then poll crawl_result with the returned id\n5. Set SCRAPELESS_API_KEY for the stdio server. Older guides use SCRAPELESS_KEY, which still works as a fallback\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.
