Browser-on requests cost 10 credits vs 1 - disable it for static pages
The browser defaults to on and costs 10 credits a request versus 1 without it - so for static pages, set browser to false and pocket the difference. Only pay the 10-credit price when you actually need JS rendering. At volume this is the single biggest lever on your ScrapingAnt bill.
Context: ScrapeOps ScrapingAnt guide: the browser parameter defaults to true and costs 10 API credits per request, while requests without the browser cost 1 credit. ScrapingAnt renders JavaScript by default via its headless browser.Maintainer review
