Zenrows LinkedIn Job Scraping: Do Site Credits Get Consumed?

When I use Zenrows to scrap Linkedin job posts, does it consumer protected site credits? Or only when I turn on "anti-bot"?

    When using Zenrows to scrape LinkedIn job posts, the consumption of protected site credits depends on your configuration. By default, Zenrows doesn't use protected site credits. However, if you enable the "Anti-Bot" option, it will use these credits. The "Anti-Bot" feature is designed to bypass advanced scraping protections on websites like LinkedIn. It's an optional setting that you can toggle on when needed. If you're encountering difficulties scraping LinkedIn job posts without the "Anti-Bot" feature, you might need to enable it to successfully extract the data. Just keep in mind that this will consume protected site credits.

    what about Render JavaScript option? Does that cost more credits from Zenrows?

    The Render JavaScript option in Zenrows doesn't directly cost more credits. It's an optional setting you can enable for pages that need JavaScript rendering. However, keep in mind that using this feature might indirectly affect your credit usage. Rendering JavaScript typically requires more processing power and time, which could potentially impact the overall efficiency of your scraping tasks.
