What we won't do

• No CAPTCHA / bot-protection bypass. Targets that refuse the request return TARGET_BLOCKED — this is a hard product boundary, not a missing feature.
• Respect robots.txt and site terms. LeanCrawl is for data you are allowed to fetch; abusive usage gets accounts suspended.

Common questions

Why is my crawl partial? It ran out of credits. Completed pages are billed and returned; top up and re-run with a smaller limit or narrower include_paths.

Why did my screenshot/PDF come back as a URL? Artifact endpoints return a Bearer-authenticated URL (retained for a limited window). Fetch it with the same Authorization header. In MCP, artifacts are embedded inline for you.

Do cached pages cost less? No — a cached hit costs the same as a fresh capture. The 48 h cache buys latency, not discounts.

Where did my run go? GET /v1/account/activity lists every billed attempt with endpoint, status, error_code, duration, and credit cost. Content is retained ~90 days.

Rate limited? You get 429 + Retry-After. Honor it; for heavy work use crawl instead of parallel capture calls.
