Yes. Select the headless browser crawler type for JavaScript-rendered content. The adaptive mode automatically switches between raw HTTP and browser based on page complexity.
The crawler handles documentation sites, blogs, knowledge bases, and most public websites. It works on both static HTML and JavaScript-rendered pages.
The output integrates directly with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and OpenAI. Route the clean text or Markdown to your RAG pipeline or vector database via Zapier.
Cost depends on crawler type. Raw HTTP is cheaper and faster; headless browser handles complex sites but costs more. Check Apify pricing for current rates.
