- `premium` *(boolean)* — Activate premium residential and mobile IPs{Reduce the latency of each request and slow requests (taking 20-30 seconds).
* This option will increase the cost of credits (
- `render` *(boolean)* — Enable Javascript rendering{Many websites use JavaScript to load dynamic content that is not present in the initial HTML source code.
Some websites use JavaScript to prevent web scraping, therefore rendering JavaScript is needed to bypass such protection.
