9 Tools

novada_proxy_fetch

Fetch any URL through a residential proxy. Returns structured JSON with content, status, and metadata. Responses are cached 300s by default — repeated calls cost zero credits (meta.cache_hit: true).

Parameters: url (required), country, city, session_id, format (markdown/raw), timeout (1-120s)

novada_proxy_batch_fetch

Fetch 2-20 URLs concurrently. Up to 5x faster than sequential calls. Per-item errors are captured individually.

Parameters: urls (2-20, required), concurrency (1-5, default 3), country, format, timeout

novada_proxy_crawl

Recursively crawl a website via BFS. Discovers internal links at each depth level, deduplicates, and returns the full URL tree with metadata.

Parameters: url (required), depth (1-5, default 2), limit (10-200, default 50), include_content (boolean), country, format, timeout

novada_proxy_extract

Extract structured fields from any URL using heuristic pattern matching (meta tags, Open Graph, JSON-LD, <img> fallback, relative URL resolution). Set render_fallback: true to auto-retry via Chromium if blocked.

Parameters: url (required), fields (required array), render_fallback, country, timeout

novada_proxy_map

Discover all internal links on a single page. Use as the discovery step before novada_proxy_batch_fetch.

Parameters: url (required), limit (10-200, default 50), include_external, country, timeout

novada_proxy_session

Sticky session — same IP across all calls with the same session_id. Use for login flows, paginated scraping, price monitoring.

Parameters: session_id (required), url (required), country, city, verify_sticky, format, timeout

novada_proxy_search

Structured Google search via Novada Scraper API. Returns titles, URLs, and snippets as clean JSON.

Requires: NOVADA_API_KEY

novada_proxy_render [BETA]

Render JavaScript-heavy pages using real Chromium. Use for SPAs, React/Vue apps.

Requires: NOVADA_BROWSER_WS | ~5 proxy credits per call

novada_proxy_status

Check proxy network connectivity, provider, and version.
