# Changelog

> New features, changes, and fixes to the Geekflare API.

<Update label="2026-08-05" description="Web Scraping pricing and rendering">
  **Simplified Web Scraping credits.** All Web Scraping requests now cost a flat **1 credit**, regardless of whether JavaScript rendering is used. The previous 2-credit "standard" tier has been removed. AI Extraction remains a **+6 credit** add-on (7 total).

  **Automatic JavaScript rendering.** `renderJS` is now automatic by default — Geekflare fetches the page without a browser first, and only falls back to full JavaScript rendering if the page needs it, at no extra cost. Set `renderJS: true` or `renderJS: false` explicitly to force rendering on or off. See [JavaScript Rendering](/guides/web-scraping#javascript-rendering).

  **New `proxyMode` parameter.** Web Scraping now supports `proxyMode` (`false` / `auto` / `true`, default `false`) for finer control over when a proxy is used:

  * `false` — never use a proxy (default)
  * `auto` — try without a proxy first, and automatically retry through a proxy if the request is blocked
  * `true` — always route through a proxy

  This replaces relying on `proxyCountry` alone to trigger proxy usage. See [Proxy Routing](/guides/web-scraping#proxy-routing).
