# Web Unblocker — Stealth Fetch for Hard-to-Fetch Pages

**Use case:** 

Send URLs that plain HTTP can't fetch and each one runs in a stealth browser session on residential IPs in the country you name, returning clean HTML and Markdown per page. When no allowed tier returns the page, the URL comes back as a failed record naming the reason, and failed URLs are never charged. No logins and no form filling.

## Input

```json
{
  "urls": [
    "https://www.crocs.com/p/classic-clog/10001.html"

  "outputs": [

## FAQ

### What happens when a page still can't be fetched?

It comes back as a failed record naming the reason, and failed URLs are never charged.

### Can I choose the country the page is fetched from?

Yes. Set country to a two-letter code such as US, GB or DE, and the stealth session uses residential IPs in that country.

### Can it log in, click or fill forms?

No. It fetches the public URLs you pass. It does not log in, click, fill forms, follow links or paginate.

### What formats come back?

Raw HTML via a download link, plus Markdown, plain text or tables as you choose, all from one fetch at no extra charge per format.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/shelvick/smart-page-fetcher.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
