Does this skill handle JavaScript-heavy websites?

Yes, the third tier utilizes Playwright-based browser automation specifically to render and extract content from dynamic, JS-reliant pages.

Is there any manual configuration required?

No configuration is necessary; the skill leverages built-in Claude Code tools and the Bright Data MCP seamlessly within your existing environment.

What happens if a website blocks standard scraping?

This skill automatically escalates through four levels, moving from basic tools to advanced browser automation and professional proxy services to ensure the content is successfully retrieved.

What format is the scraped content returned in?

All retrieved content is automatically processed and returned in clean, structured Markdown format, making it optimized for Claude's analysis.

When should I use the Bright Data tier specifically?

The workflow uses it automatically as a final fallback for difficult sites, but you can explicitly request it for pages with high security, CAPTCHAs, or residential proxy requirements.
