Do I need to manually configure the fallback?

No, the skill automatically handles the escalation logic, starting with the fastest method and only using more resource-intensive tools as needed.

What format is the scraped content returned in?

All retrieved content is processed and returned in clean Markdown format, making it easy for Claude to analyze and summarize the data.

How does the progressive escalation work?

It starts with basic tools like WebFetch and Curl, then scales up to browser automation and Bright Data only if the previous tier fails or is blocked.

Can this skill bypass CAPTCHAs?

Yes, by utilizing the Bright Data MCP tier, the skill can navigate advanced bot detection and CAPTCHA challenges that stop standard scrapers.
