Device Type
Toggle between devices and specific results for the websites you are scraping.
Websites which prioritise mobile devices usually offer different layouts, depending on the device that reaches them. This means that the result is usually different if you scrape the website with a mobile device, a tablet or a desktop computer.
With WebScrapingAPI you can toggle between each of these devices and always get the desired result. The default scraping device is desktop, however you can always change it to mobile or tablet by simply using the device parameter.
Your full GET request should then be sent to the following address:
https://api.webscrapingapi.com/v1?api_key=<YOUR_API_KEY>&url=<TARGETED_URL>&device_type=<DESKTOP / TABLET / MOBILE>Window Sizing
| Device Type | Width | Height |
|---|---|---|
