Scrapeless Weekly Changelog: September 28–October 4, 2026
Scraping and Proxy Management Expert
TL;DR:
- Grok Scraper now supports share links. Set the optional
should_fetch_share_linkfield and eligible completed results can include ashare_urlfor review and verification. - Static ISP proxy renewal controls are easier to use. Dashboard users can renew a channel immediately or enable Auto Renew for the next renewal cycle.
- Gemini Scraper handles empty and refusal-like responses more carefully. A new filter reduces the chance that those outputs are classified as successful billable requests.
- The free Scrapeless cURL Converter is live. It converts cURL commands into Python and other language targets in the browser, without requiring an account.
- Scrapeless Docs now cover the full platform through a clearer navigation structure. Product guides, developer tools, integrations, and help content have distinct entry points.
The September 28–October 4 release makes AI-answer results easier to review and routine proxy operations easier to manage. Grok joins the documented share-link workflow, Static ISP proxy channels gain clearer renewal controls, and Gemini response filtering now treats empty or refusal-like output more carefully. The week also brings a free cURL conversion tool and a rebuilt Docs entry point.
Grok Scraper Adds Share-Link Output
Grok Scraper can now request a shareable result page. The live Grok Scraper documentation lists should_fetch_share_link as an optional boolean request field and share_url as the response field.
This makes the structured result easier to check outside the application that created the task. A team can keep the prompt, parsed answer, citations, and share URL in the same review record, then open the engine-hosted page when it needs to compare the stored data with the shared conversation view.
Grok brings this documented pattern to six current AI Scraper guides: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overview, and Grok. The share-link option does not add a separate share-link fee. Availability still depends on whether the source engine produces an eligible shared conversation for that task.
Static ISP Proxy Renewals Are Easier to Manage
Static ISP proxy users now have two clear renewal paths in the Dashboard. The updated workflow for Static ISP Proxies includes an immediate Renew action and an Auto Renew setting in the channel list.
Manual renewal gives operators a direct control when they want to extend a channel now. Auto Renew removes the need to return to the Dashboard before each expiry cycle. Both options live with the channel they affect, which keeps the renewal decision close to the proxy allocation and its current configuration.

Gemini Scraper Filters Empty and Refusal-Like Responses
Gemini Scraper now applies an additional filter to empty and refusal-like output before the result is treated as successful. The change reduces the chance that a Gemini refusal is classified as a successful billable request.
This is a billing-quality safeguard, not a promise that Gemini will answer every prompt. The upstream model can still decline a request. The improvement changes how Scrapeless evaluates that returned output so a refusal is less likely to look like a usable completed result.
The Free cURL Converter Is Live
The new Scrapeless cURL to Python Converter turns a cURL command into application code without requiring signup. Parsing and code generation happen in the browser; the page does not send the command to the target website.
cURL represents a transfer through a URL and command-line options, as defined in the official cURL man page. A useful converter must preserve the request method, headers, body, and related behavior described by HTTP semantics, while handling URL components consistently with the WHATWG URL Standard.
The converter supports common requests with methods, headers, cookies, basic authentication, query parameters, and inline request bodies. It currently presents 29 programming-language targets, plus Axios and Fetch options for Node.js. Unsupported options are reported for manual review instead of being silently dropped, and generated code can be copied or downloaded.
Scrapeless Docs Now Have a Full Platform Entry Point
The rebuilt Scrapeless Platform Overview gives each major product and developer surface a distinct starting point. The navigation covers Browser & Crawl, AI Scraper, Web Unlocker, Proxies, Scraping API, Developer Tools, Integrations, and Help.
The change is more than a visual reorganization. Developers can start with the task they need to complete, move into the relevant product guide, and then choose an SDK, MCP client, direct API workflow, or integration without relying on older product-name routes.
Conclusion
This week’s release connects product output to the workflows around it. Grok share links make AI-answer records easier to review, Static ISP renewal controls reduce a recurring operational step, and Gemini filtering improves how non-answers are classified. The free cURL Converter and rebuilt Docs also shorten the path from an example request to working application code.
AI Scraper is available through the Web Unlocker, while Static ISP proxies are part of Scrapeless Proxy Solutions. The previous Scrapeless Weekly Changelog covers the SDK guides and the first three documented AI Scraper share-link updates. Review Scrapeless pricing when planning production usage.

FAQ
Q: How do I request a Grok share link?
Set should_fetch_share_link to true in the Grok Scraper input. An eligible completed result can include the generated URL in share_url.
Q: Does the Grok share-link field have a separate fee?
No. The share-link option does not add a separate share-link fee, although normal AI Scraper usage charges still apply.
Q: Can Static ISP proxies be renewed manually?
Yes. The Static ISP Proxy channel list provides Renew for an immediate renewal and Auto Renew for the next renewal cycle.
Q: Does the cURL Converter send or execute my request?
No. The converter parses the command and generates code in the browser without contacting the target website. You decide whether to copy, download, and run the result.
