Pricing

• $0.0050 per successful task This is a pay-as-you-go pricing model — you're only charged when a Target task successfully returns product data.

You can view your current credit balance and usage history in the Crawlbyte Dashboard.

Response

The response contains metadata about the task. For target type, the most important fields are status and result.

{
  "id": "bd3e89ed-815e-4395-98a3-521ede71cc4d",
  "status": "completed",
  "result": {
    // product data
  }
}

• result is a JSON object, that's the final scraped product data — no further polling is needed.

Status Types

Status	Meaning
queued	Task was accepted and added to the processing queue.
processing	Task is currently running.
completed	Task finished and product data was successfully collected.
failed	Task encountered an error (e.g., invalid product ID, access denied, etc.).

Polling

If status is queued or processing, continue polling the task until it's completed or failed.

GET https://api.crawlbyte.ai/api/tasks/:id

• You’ll receive the same structure with an updated status.

• Only poll until you receive completed or failed.

• Recommended interval: every 3–5 seconds.

SDK Usage

You can run this task using any official Crawlbyte SDK:

• Go SDK

• TypeScript SDK

• Python SDK

Each SDK provides a simple way to:

• Create the task

• Poll for status

• Handle the final result

Refer to the SDKs section for installation, examples, and setup instructions.

Notes

• Only valid Target product IDs (TCINs) will return results.

• Crawlbyte handles retries, fingerprinting, and anti-bot logic internally — no need to configure anything manually.

• Use multithread: true in advanced settings when processing large volumes.

• If a specific field is missing in the result, it means the data wasn’t available or couldn’t be parsed — usually all supported fields are returned.

• Need more fields? Just contact our support and we’ll add them.

• Average task duration is ~1–2 seconds per product, depending on Target’s site response time.
