## Frequently Asked Questions

**What data fields does Meta Scraping API return?**  
Metadata API returns JSON object containing the **Title**, **Description**, **Canonical URL**, **Logo**, **Author**, **Language**, and all available **Open Graph** and **Twitter Card** properties.

**How much does a Meta Scraping request cost?**  
Meta Scraping consumes **2 credits** per request.

**Why is the API unable to scrape certain websites?**  
This usually happens when the target site uses sophisticated security measures, **WAFs** (Web Application Firewalls), or **IP rate limiting** to block automated traffic. To bypass these restrictions, you may route your request through our residential proxy network by adding the `proxyCountry` parameter. This makes your request appear as a real user from a specific location.

**Important:** Using premium proxies consumes **2 additional credits** per request.
