One call
Send the page URL and the recipe name to the Scrape API. The recipe brings the extract rules and the settings that work on The Verge (JavaScript rendering).
curl -G 'https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape' \
-H "ApiKey: $UJEEBU_API_KEY" \
--data-urlencode 'url=https://www.theverge.com/cs/998233/tip-the-verge/' \

import os, requests
r = requests.get(
"https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape",
params={"url": "https://www.theverge.com/cs/998233/tip-the-verge/", "recipe": "theverge"},
headers={"ApiKey": os.environ["UJEEBU_API_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
print(r.json()["result"])
const params = new URLSearchParams({
url: "https://www.theverge.com/cs/998233/tip-the-verge/",
recipe: "theverge",
});
const res = await fetch(`https://api.ujeebu.com/scrape?${params}`, {
headers: { ApiKey: process.env.UJEEBU_API_KEY },
});
console.log((await res.json()).result);
The answer is {"result": {...}} with the headers Ujb-Recipe and Ujb-Credits. Your own parameters always win over the recipe.

FAQ
What does the The Verge recipe return?
JSON with 5 fields from article (recipe=theverge), for example title, description, image, url, published. The answer is {"result": {...}} with the fields shown on this page.
How much does it cost to scrape The Verge?
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 The Verge: JavaScript rendering. Send only the URL and recipe=theverge.
What happens when The Verge changes its pages?
We check The Verge 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.
