The Fetch API only takes the key in the query string.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Scrapeless\n\n1. 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### 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. Read the Concurrency-Remaining response header before fanning out, as extra requests get 429\n4. Set ZENROWS_AUTO_SIGNUP=false in stdio configs so a missing key fails loudly instead of creating an account\n\n## Other comparisons with Scrapeless or ZenRows\n\n- [Bright Data vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [Bright Data vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/bright-data-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Jina Reader vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/jina-reader-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [Jina Reader vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/jina-reader-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Olostep vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/olostep-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [Olostep vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/olostep-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Scrape.do vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrape-do-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [Scrape.do vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrape-do-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [ScrapeGraphAI vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapegraphai-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Scrapeless vs Scrapfly](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapeless-vs-scrapfly.md)\n- [Scrapeless vs ScrapingAnt](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapeless-vs-scrapingant.md)\n- [Scrapeless vs ScrapingBee](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapeless-vs-scrapingbee.md)\n- [Scrapeless vs Scrapingdog](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapeless-vs-scrapingdog.md)\n- [Scrapeless vs Spider](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapeless-vs-spider-cloud.md)\n- [Scrapfly vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapfly-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [ScrapingAnt vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapingant-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [ScrapingBee vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapingbee-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Scrapingdog vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scrapingdog-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Spider vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/spider-cloud-vs-zenrows.md)\n- [Firecrawl MCP vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/firecrawl-mcp-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [Apify MCP Server vs Scrapeless](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/apify-mcp-vs-scrapeless.md)\n- [Firecrawl MCP vs ZenRows](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/firecrawl-mcp-vs-zenrows.md)\n",
