Web Scraping & Downloads

When to Use

• Scrape page text + images (JS-rendered) -> scrape_page_content (best for modern sites, SPAs, product pages)
• Find images on a simple page -> scrape_page_images (faster, static HTML only)
• Download image -> download_web_image (after scraping for real URLs)
• Download file (PDF, doc, etc.) -> download_web_file

scrape_page_content vs scrape_page_images

• scrape_page_content: Uses headless Chromium, renders JavaScript, extracts text AND images. Use for product pages, SPAs, dynamic content. Returns text + sorted images (largest first).
• scrape_page_images: Static HTML fetch, faster but misses JS-loaded content. Use for simple pages with standard img tags.

Important

• NEVER guess CDN URLs -- always scrape first
• WebP images auto-converted to PNG on download
• Browser User-Agent headers used to avoid 403 blocks
• Image download: 10MB limit, File download: 50MB limit
• scrape_page_content text capped at 15K chars to avoid context bloat
