The default is the catch, since headless Chrome costs 10 credits and a plain fetch 1, so Enthusiast ($19 for 100,000) is $1.90 per 1,000 by default and $0.19 with the browser off. Adding residential proxies takes a browser request to 125 credits, or $23.75 per 1,000 on Enthusiast, and the AI extractor adds 1 credit per 30 characters. Failed requests cost nothing and every response reports its spend in the Ant-credits-cost header. Separate proxy plans sell bandwidth at $3 to $6 a GB for residential. No x402. Four because failure is free and the cost is reported per call, with a 125-to-1 spread an agent has to set deliberately.

Nothing on those tools caps output size, so a long page arrives whole. The errors page lists 8 status codes, and a 423 means anti-bot detection, with advice to retry or change settings, which is an honest signal that the page wasn't read. Google, Bing and Yandex result pages come back as raw HTML through `/v2/general`, left to the agent to parse. There's no llms.txt (404), no OpenAPI and no changelog, and the SDKs last shipped in 2022 and 2024. The privacy policy predates the MCP server and doesn't say whether scraped pages are stored. Three, because it reads pages cheaply and flags blocks, but leaves size and parsing to the agent.
