Smart rendering
We only pay the browser tax when the page makes us.
Most pages are static — Forage fetches those directly and returns in milliseconds. When a page is a JavaScript shell, we spin up a real headless browser automatically. Force it either way with render: "always" or "never".
01 / FETCH
Static pages, fast
A plain edge fetch pulls the HTML and converts it — no browser, minimal latency, one credit.
02 / DETECT
Shells get rendered
If the page needs JavaScript to show its content, Forage escalates to a headless browser on its own.
03 / REFUND
Failures don't cost
If a fetch or conversion fails, the credits are returned automatically. You only pay for data you get.

FAQ
Good to know.
What is a credit?
A credit is one unit of work. Markdown and screenshots cost 1 credit; PDF, extract, and reviews cost 2; transcription is 2 credits minimum plus 1 per started minute of audio. Your free key starts with 300 of them — enough for hundreds of calls.
What's your refund policy?
Two things. Failed calls — a page that won't fetch, a conversion that errors — are refunded automatically, so you never pay for data you didn't get. And unused credits are refundable within 14 days of purchase; just email us.
Do credits expire or auto-renew?
Neither. There's no subscription and no recurring charge — you buy a pack once and draw it down at your own pace. Reviews with no markup on the page aren't charged at all.
How do rate limits work?
Each key can make up to 60 requests per minute. Over that, you'll get a
429 rate_limited — wait a moment and retry.How do I get help?
Email willchilcutt@gmail.com. It's a small operation, so you'll reach a real person. The full docs cover every endpoint, and there's an OpenAPI spec if you'd rather generate a client.
