Options

Every key of a program's `options`.

KeyTypeDescription
region"eu" | "us"The execution region, eu or us. Defaults to your organisation's region.
max_tier"http" | "browser" | "stealth"The most expensive tier the job may escalate to: http, browser or stealth. Defaults to your plan's maximum; a page that needs more fails the job with max_tier_exceeded.
prefer_tier"http" | "browser" | "stealth"The tier the job starts at: http, browser or stealth. Defaults to http for a program that only uses goto and extract, and browser otherwise; a site profile may raise it.
assets"block" | "allow"Whether browser tiers load images, fonts and media: block (the default) or allow.
block_urlsstring[]Up to 50 URL globs, matched against the full URL, whose requests a browser tier aborts before they are sent, whatever assets says. Use it for a site's own analytics; a pattern that matches something the page needs breaks the page, and the http tier ignores it.
proxyobjectWhich proxy the job's traffic goes through. Defaults to { "mode": "platform", "fallback": "none" }.
proxy.mode"platform" | "byo"platform uses Kaabist's proxy pool; byo uses a proxy your organisation registered. Defaults to platform.
proxy.byo_idstringThe byo_… id of the bring-your-own proxy to use with mode: "byo". Without it, byo uses your organisation's default proxy.
proxy.countrystringThe exit country, as an uppercase ISO-3166-1 alpha-2 code such as DE.
proxy.pool"datacenter" | "residential" | "mobile"The platform proxy class: datacenter, residential or mobile.
proxy.fallback"platform" | "none"What happens when a bring-your-own proxy fails. none (the default) fails the job with byo_proxy_unreachable; platform runs on the platform pool, adds the warning byo_fallback_used and bills the proxy traffic.
llmobjectThe language model that heals locators and classifies unrecognised pages. Defaults to your organisation's configured model, else the platform's model when it is enabled.
llm.byo_idstringThe byo_… id of a bring-your-own model. Only capable models heal, and a bring-your-own model's tokens are not billed.
captchaobjectThe captcha solver policies.captcha: "solve" uses. Defaults to your organisation's configured solver, else the platform's.
captcha.byo_idstringThe byo_… id of a bring-your-own captcha solver. Its solves are not billed.
sessionstringThe name of a session to bind. Its storage state is loaded before step 1, so the job starts signed in.
resume_from_sessionbooleanWhen true and the bound session is valid, the job skips ahead to the step after the checkpoint that saved this session, instead of signing in again. Defaults to false.
session_probe"http" | "browser"Which tier checks the bound session before the job runs: http (the default, one request) or browser, for a site whose signed-in landmark needs JavaScript. A browser probe is billed as a browser page load.
cacheobjectLets the job reuse a recent snapshot of the same page. Ignored when the program binds a session or has secret inputs.
cache.max_ageintegerThe oldest snapshot the job accepts, in seconds, from 0 to 86400.
viewportobjectThe browser window size for browser tiers. Defaults to 1280×800.
viewport.widthintegerViewport width in pixels, from 320 to 3840.
viewport.heightintegerViewport height in pixels, from 240 to 2160.
browser_profile"desktop" | "mobile"The user agent and viewport bundle: desktop (the default) or mobile.
engine"chromium" | "firefox"The stealth tier's browser. Without it, a stealth job starts on a hardened Chromium and switches to Camoufox (a Firefox build) for a hostname where Chromium was refused. firefox always runs Camoufox; chromium never switches. The browser tier always runs Chromium.
fill_mode"insert" | "type"How fill puts text into a field at a browser tier. insert (the default) commits the whole value at once, as a paste does; type sends one key event per character, for fields with an input mask or a per-keystroke validator.
follow_popupsbooleanBrowser tiers: when true, a page the program opens in a popup (window.open, target=_blank) is opened in the same tab instead, so a one-time sign-in token is spent by the tab the program drives. Defaults to false.
localestringThe browser locale as a BCP-47 tag. Defaults to en-US, or to the locale of proxy.country when one is set.
timezonestringThe browser time zone as an IANA name. Defaults to UTC, or to the time zone of proxy.country when one is set.
max_duration_msintegerThe whole job's time budget in milliseconds, from 1000 to 3600000, not counting time spent parked. Defaults to your plan's limit.
max_creditsintegerThe most credits the job may spend; exceeding it fails the job. Defaults to your plan's limit.
max_stepsintegerThe most steps the job may execute, from 1 to 200. Defaults to 200.
headersmap of stringExtra request headers, as a map of name to value, sent by the http tier and, on the browser tiers, on the page's own top-level navigations only: never on its images, scripts or fetch calls, nor to another host the page talks to.
canaryobjectThe canary probe that runs the program on a schedule to notice when a site changes. The stored canary settings on the program override these key by key.
canary.enabledbooleantrue opts in and false opts out. When absent, a program used in the last seven days that has a canary.url or is only goto and extract gets a canary.
canary.cronstringThe schedule the canary runs on, as a cron expression such as 0 */6 * * *.
canary.urlstringThe URL the canary runs against, a template. It is bound as the input named url, which {{inputs.url}} reads.
canary.inputsobjectInput values the canary runs with. Credentials do not belong here; they are stored separately on the program.
obstaclesobjectHow the obstacle layer treats cookie banners, dialogs, overlays, toasts and tours. Defaults to { "allow_hide": true }.
obstacles.allow_hidebooleanWhether a dialog or consent obstacle that cannot be dismissed may be hidden as a last resort. Defaults to true; set false for a page whose modal is the page, such as an age gate or a paywall, so the job parks for a person instead.
obstacles.ignorestring[]Up to 20 CSS selectors the obstacle probe never reports, for elements such as a chat bubble or a sticky header that are part of the page.
