API Playground

The Playground is the fastest way to experiment with CRW without wiring up your own client first. Use it when you want to validate a URL, compare options, or inspect response shapes before writing code.

Best Uses

  • validate that a target URL works before you automate it,
  • compare markdown vs html vs json,
  • test selectors or JS rendering settings,
  • and confirm response fields before you wire the request into your app or agent.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Start with scrape
  2. Request only markdown
  3. Confirm the output looks right
  4. Add selectors, JS rendering, or extraction only if needed

That sequence keeps debugging simple and makes the endpoint examples almost copy-paste.

When Not To Use It

Skip the Playground if you already know the request shape you need and just want production code. In that case, start with Quick Start or the specific endpoint page under REST API.
