wouldn't want 100% of the html from a page, instead I just need selected field values, downloadable in a .csv file, can it do it? If not what is the actual use case for this?
in the real world how many API credits are needed to retrieve 10 field values from a single page of data?
- do the credits renew each month? ( if not this is not really a lifetime deal)
- inability to deal with pagination is a deal breaker I think, when will you solve it? I think its severely limited if it can't deal with pagination and also if it can only download 100% of the html - I can't see much use for it, please provide some examples of what your customers are finding this tool helpful with?
thanks
Bitt_QuickScraperHi there,
Thanks for showing your interest in QuickScraper.

Currently, we are providing scraped data in HTML, we don't ability to export scraped data in CSV and JSON, but it is on our to-do list and it will be available in the future(In around 3 months). Basically, web scraping experts export scraped data in HTML, then obtain the required data from that file and output that data in the Excel spreadsheet or a CSV file, or in JSON.
In the real world how many API credits are needed to retrieve 10 field values from a single page of data?
It depends on your request:
-If you make a normal request then it will cost you 1 request = 1 credit OR
If you make a request with advanced options like JS rendering with premium proxies, then it will cost you more credits according to request customization.

Do the credits renew each month? ( if not this is not really a lifetime deal)
-Yes, the credits renew each month.

We do not offer pagination right now. Could you provide more information about the kind of pagination you need? So I can check with my team and see if possible.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
