What a scraping preflight report should show

A preflight report is only useful if it changes what you build next.

Minimum useful output

  • which combinations succeeded
  • which combinations failed
  • protection signals such as WAF, CAPTCHA, and antibot tooling
  • the recommended route
  • a reusable API payload
  • cost and latency context

What to avoid

Do not settle for a binary “scrapeable or not” answer. That tells you almost nothing about implementation risk.

What the best report gives you

It shortens the path from diagnostic to working integration. You should be able to take the recommended route and use it directly in your API request.

Run the free check to see what that report looks like for your own target.
