Architecture

BrowserAct API Integration

User Request → Extract ASINs → Submit Task → Poll Status → Retrieve Results → LLM Analysis

API Endpoints

Endpoint Method Purpose
/v2/workflow/run-task-by-template POST Submit scraping task
/v2/workflow/get-task-status GET Check task status
/v2/workflow/get-task GET Retrieve results

Anti-Bot Bypass (Not Blocked by CAPTCHA/reCAPTCHA)

BrowserAct skills use advanced browser automation technology to bypass anti-bot detection:

  • Real Browser Instances: Uses actual Chrome/Firefox browser sessions
  • Stealth Technology: Automatically handles fingerprinting, cookies, and headers
  • CAPTCHA Bypass: No need for CAPTCHA solving services - access content directly
  • Human-like Behavior: Randomized delays, scrolling, and interaction patterns
  • High Success Rate: Significantly higher success rate compared to traditional HTTP scraping
