FAQ

What does the CNBC recipe return?

JSON with 8 fields from article (recipe=cnbc), for example description, headline, image, modified, published. The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields shown on this page.

How much does it cost to scrape CNBC?

5 credits a page ($0.50 per 1,000 on Pro, $0.82 on Starter). Same price as the page call, no fee for the recipe. Only successful responses are billed; blocked, timed-out and failed requests are free.

Do I need proxies or a headless browser?

No. The recipe brings the settings that work on CNBC: JavaScript rendering. Send only the URL and recipe=cnbc.

What happens when CNBC changes its pages?

We check CNBC every day and re-validate the recipe on real pages every week, then fix it when the site changes. Until a fix is live, the API answers 404 "the recipe has no working version" instead of empty data, and that call is free.

Can I change the fields?

Yes. Send your own extract_rules or any setting (js, proxy_type, wait_for) and it wins over the recipe. The developer guide shows the recipe rules to start from.
