# Awaiting

### The `wait_until` parameter

Passing the `wait_until` parameter to your request tells the browser that a certain promise is still ongoing, hence preventing the service worker from terminating until the promise is resolved.&#x20;

Your full **GET** request should then be sent to the following address:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=<TARGETED_URL>&wait_until=$promise
```

{% endcode %}

<details>

<summary>Available options</summary>

The currently supported options for the `wait_until` parameter are:

* `load` - load event is fired.
* `domcontentloaded` - DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
* `networkidle0` - there are no more than 0 network connections for at least 500 ms.
* `networkidle2` - there are no more than 2 network connections for at least 500 ms.

### The `wait_for` parameter

This option comes in handy when dealing with websites that have dynamic-generated content. Passing the `wait_for` parameter will instruct BrowserAPI to wait for a certain amount of time after the page finished loading and before closing the connection.&#x20;

Your full **GET** request should then be sent to the following address:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=<TARGETED_URL>&wait_for=$milliseconds
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The values passed to the `wait_for` parameter are expressed in milliseconds. We recommend that you use a value between `5000` and `10000`.
{% endhint %}

### The `wait_for_css` parameter

When you want to scrape a specific element of the page, passing the `wait_for_css` parameter will make BrowserAPI wait for that specific CSS selector to be available in DOM before returning the result.&#x20;

Your full **GET** request should then be sent to the following address:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=<TARGETED_URL>&wait_for_css=$cssSelector
```

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
We recommend that the `$cssSelector` value should be encoded or escaped in order for your request to pass successfully.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
