Managed execution
Each Crawlora platform API is designed around a specific data surface. Instead of exposing a generic fetch endpoint, Crawlora combines endpoint-specific request logic, managed infrastructure, parsing, normalization, billing, and Playground-tested examples.
Request behavior is tuned for the target platform and endpoint type.
Supported endpoints can use managed proxy routing to improve reliability and reduce infrastructure work.
Dynamic pages can be routed through managed browser instances where JavaScript rendering is required.
Challenge pages and unusable upstream responses are detected and surfaced clearly.
Results are returned as documented JSON instead of raw HTML.
Test the same route from Docs and Playground before production integration.
Coverage map
These cards are generated from the active endpoint catalog, so the landing page reflects the same API surface used by Docs and Playground.

How to scrape Yelp
Crawlora's Yelp endpoint calls Yelp's real Android app business-search backend directly and returns normalized results as JSON with one API key.
Send a search term (e.g. "pizza") and a location — neighborhood, city, state, or zip code — to the Yelp search endpoint.
Receive normalized business listings with name, rating, review count, price, categories, address, coordinates, and photos.
Use limit and offset to page through results; an empty results array is a valid no-match response.
