Looking everywhere on the site and can't find info. how do you schedule scrapes?
(for any scraper, this is the most basic feature and I can't find it)

Direct Answer:
âł Native scheduling is not available yetâit's currently in development.
We know this is a basic and essential feature for any scraper, and it's a top priority on our roadmap. Expected within the next few months.
Current Workaround:
Right now, you need to use external tools to schedule workflows:
Option 1: n8n or Make.com
n8n/Make scheduled trigger â BrowserAct API â Run workflow
Option 2: Cron job
Cron schedule â Call BrowserAct REST API â Execute workflow
Option 3: Any automation tool
Use our REST API to trigger workflows programmatically
Schedule via your preferred tool
Why It's Not Built-In Yet:
We launched focusing on core scraping capabilities first, and we're now building out scheduling as a high-priority feature. Your feedback reinforces how important this is!
Stay Updated:
Join our Discord for early access when scheduling launches: https://discord.com/invite/UpnCKd7GaU
We'll announce it there first!
I know this isn't ideal right now, but we're working on it. Thanks for your patience!

Hey! This was previously answered by Claire Hu who said: Yes â you schedule scrapes by running BrowserAct workflows in the cloud and using integrations: via Make (set a schedule trigger like daily at 8:00 AM and deliver results to Google Sheets, email, DB, etc.), via n8n (similar scheduling, more advanced chains, selfâhosted or cloud), via Zapier (use Zapierâs scheduler), or by calling the BrowserAct API from your own cron jobs for maximum flexibility; all tiers include unlimited API calls so scheduling wonât cost extra.
