Why some sites are classified as Premium

Premium sites are more resource-intensive to extract data from due to one or more of these factors:

  • Advanced bot detection systems that require specialized handling

  • CAPTCHA challenges that must be solved to access content

  • Complex page structures that need additional processing

  • Dynamic content loading that requires specialized rendering

  • Rate limitations or IP-based access restrictions

These sites require additional server resources, specialized IP addresses, and more complex processing, which is why they have a higher credit cost.

Premium sites are more costly to extract data from due to their advanced bot detection, captchas, or their structure and type of content.

Credit costs for Premium sites

The minimum cost per task on Premium sites ranges from 2 to 10 credits (compared to the standard 1 credit minimum for regular sites). The specific cost depends on the site's complexity and security measures.
