Probe a public HTTPS URL and recommend the lowest-cost likely retrieval strategy (plain HTTP, browser render, PDF/feed/JSON/XML parser, authentication required, blocked, or unsupported) with the evidence that produced the recommendation.
You can access the URL Retrieval Preflight programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.
