Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00150 | $0.02209 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00075 | $0.01104 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00442 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00221 |
Grade A, and why
scraperapi-ruby-sdk scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ScraperAPI — Ruby SDK Best Practices
Requires: Ruby >= 2.0, gem install scraperapi (or gem 'scraperapi' in Gemfile), SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY environment variable.
Setup
require "scraper_api"
client = ScraperAPI::Client.new(ENV["SCRAPERAPI_API_KEY"])
Never hardcode the API key. Read it from the environment every time.
Basic Usage
# Simple GET — returns raw HTML string via .raw_body
html = client.get("https://example.com/").raw_body
puts html
# With a single parameter
html = client.get("https://example.com/", render: true).raw_body
# With multiple parameters
html = client.get(
"https://example.com/",
render: true,
country_code: "us"
).raw_body
Parameters are passed as keyword arguments after the URL. .raw_body extracts the HTML string from the response object.
Decision Guide
| Situation | Approach |
|---|---|
| Single URL, synchronous | client.get(url, **params).raw_body |
| Page loads content via JavaScript | Pass render: true |
| Site blocks datacenter proxies | Pass premium: true |
| Toughest anti-bot protection | Pass ultra_premium: true |
| Multi-step / paginated flow on same domain | Use session_number: |
| 20+ URLs or batch jobs | Use async endpoint via Net::HTTP or Faraday |
| Supported platform (Amazon, Google, etc.) | Use structured data endpoint directly |
Parameter Reference
Rendering
# Render JavaScript before returning HTML
# Use when: page is a React/Vue/Angular SPA, or initial scrape returns empty/partial content
# Cost: +10 credits
html = client.get("https://spa-site.com/", render: true).raw_body
# Wait for a specific DOM element (requires render: true)
html = client.get(
"https://spa-site.com/",
render: true,
wait_for_selector: ".product-list"
).raw_body
Don't add render: true by default — try without it first. It increases cost and latency.
Proxies and Geotargeting
# Route through a country-specific proxy — no extra credit cost
html = client.get("https://example.com/", country_code: "gb").raw_body
# Premium residential/mobile IPs — for sites that block datacenter proxies
# Cost: 10 credits (25 with render: true)
html = client.get("https://hard-site.com/", premium: true).raw_body
# Ultra-premium — for the toughest anti-bot protections
# Cost: 30 credits (75 with render: true)
# Note: incompatible with keep_headers — custom headers are discarded
html = client.get("https://hardest-site.com/", ultra_premium: true).raw_body
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

scraperapi-ruby-sdk is a skill published in the GitHub repository scraperapi/scraperapi-skills (10 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 150 tokens to every session and 2,209 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
