Use cases

How it works

1. Playwright browser automation — renders pages like a real browser to bypass Mudah.my's WAF
2. API interception — automatically detects and uses internal JSON API endpoints when available (faster than DOM scraping)
3. DOM fallback — robust multi-selector scraping when API is unavailable
4. Automatic pagination — follows search result pages until maxResults is reached
5. Stealth mode — randomized viewports, user agents, delays, and anti-detection scripts

Tips for best results

• Use residential proxies — Mudah.my blocks datacenter IPs aggressively
• Start with includeDetails: false — much faster; only enable if you need full descriptions and all images
• Use startUrls for brand-specific searches — e.g., https://www.mudah.my/malaysia/cars-for-sale/toyota
• Keep maxResults reasonable — larger runs cost more CUs and take longer
