Target URL to extract

string
enum

Specify optional fields to be returned from any fully-extracted pages (e.g. fields=querystring,links)

Allowed:
int32

Sets a value in milliseconds to wait for the retrieval/fetch of content from the requested URL. The default timeout for the third-party response is 30 seconds (30000).

string

Use for jsonp requests. Needed for cross-domain ajax.

string

Specify an IP address of a custom proxy that will be used to fetch the target page. (Ex: &proxy or &proxy=0.0.0.0)

string

Used to specify the authentication parameters that will be used with a custom proxy specified in the &proxy parameter. (Ex: proxyAuth=username:password)

string

Set to default to use Diffbot's datacenter proxy for this request. none will instruct Extract to not use proxies, even if proxies have been enabled for this particular URL globally.

boolean

Pass paging=false to disable automatic concatenation multiple-page articles.

string
Defaults to 20

Set the maximum number of pages in a thread to automatically concatenate in a single response. Default = 1 (no concatenation). Set maxPages=all to retrieve all pages of a thread regardless of length. Each individual page will count as a separate API call.

integer
≤ 180000

Add additional time for rendering before the page is closed and the DOM is extracted. This can cause page timeouts, so a timeout parameter may be needed to extend the timeout. Note that the renderer closes automatically at 180 seconds.

string
enum

Direct the browser to scroll down the page, to trigger lazy-loaded content.
