How to forward headers?

You might need to forward specific headers to the website that you want to scrape.

In order to forward headers, you must set forward_headers to true and then pass your custom headers.

You must then prefix the headers to forward to the website with "Spb-" (for ScraPingBee).

This prefix will be trimmed by ScrapingBee, and headers will be forwarded to the target web page.

Example :

If you want to send the header Accept-Language: En-US, add the header: Spb-Accept-Language: En-US and the parameter forward_headers=true to the request sent to the ScrapingBee API.

Code examples and more details are available in the full documentation.

Specific header forwarding

Some targets may require only sending specific headers. In this case, you can use pure header forwarding. It would look like this via code:

forward_headers_pure=True
