Recommended Scrappey client configuration

For authorised access only — your own properties, contractually permitted scraping, QA, monitoring, accessibility audits, and similar use cases. Always respect the site's terms of service and applicable law.

→Run a full browser context — the JS step sets the incap_ses_* cookies that later requests rely on.
→Prefer residential or mobile egress; datacenter ranges are flagged faster by reputation scoring.
→Reuse one Scrappey session so incap_ses_* cookies persist across requests.
→Let the Scrappey browser environment run the page scripts so the session is established the way the site expects.
