Zyte

Zyte API renders the page in a browser behind Zyte’s anti-ban network, as an unblocker rung.

• Returns the rendered HTML.
• An explicit Zyte read isn’t held by a site’s cool-down.
• Cost isn’t reported per request, so cost_usd is unknown; it can’t run under a max_cost_usd cap.

Set up

Set FRANKENSURF_ZYTE_API_KEY, or the service’s own name ZYTE_API_KEY.

Use it

Once its key is set, it joins any read that allows paid tools. To use it on its own:

Python

page = await web.read(
    "https://example.com/products/2231",
    provider="zyte",
    policy_overrides={"allow_paid_fallbacks": True},
)

MCP

{ "tool": "read", "arguments": { "url": "https://example.com/products/2231", "provider": "zyte", "acquisition_policy": { "allow_paid_fallbacks": true } } }
