Hi Clay S., What is the best way to run a scraper and verify if a domain is still active? I tried running a Claygent but the results are inconsistent.

Use the Clay Chrome Extension for scraping: ā€¢ Install it from the Chrome Web Store ā€¢ Click the extension icon in your toolbar ā€¢ Select "Select Data" to begin scraping ā€¢ Choose the data points you want to capture 2.

    I have build a list of accounts and want to verify which domains are active and which aren't. I used claygent but the responses aren't great so was wondering if there is a different tool/integration I can use for better results?
