## Input

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `url` | string | yes | The URL of the page to scrape. |
| `blockAds` | boolean | no | When true (upstream default), strip ad and cookie-consent elements before capture. Set false to keep them. |
| `excludeTags` | array | no | CSS selectors to drop before capture (for example \["nav", "footer", ".ads"\]). Applied after includeTags. |
| `formats` | array | no | Which representations of the page to return. Any combination of: markdown (page content as Markdown), html (the page HTML exactly as the browser received it, including head and script tags). Each requested format is returned under the matching output field. Defaults to both. rawHtml is a deprecated |
| `includeTags` | array | no | CSS selectors to keep. When set, only content matching these selectors is captured (for example \["article", "main"\] or \["#content"\]). |
| `mobile` | boolean | no | When true, render the page with a mobile viewport and user agent instead of desktop. Some sites serve materially different content to mobile. |
| `onlyMainContent` | boolean | no | When true, return only the main article content, stripping navigation, headers, footers, and other boilerplate. Defaults to false to capture the full page. |
| `waitFor` | integer | no | Milliseconds to wait for the page to finish rendering before capture. Use this for JavaScript-heavy pages or single-page apps whose content loads after the initial paint. Capped at 15000 to stay within the request timeout. This wait is time you asked us to spend, so your response takes this much lon |
