When ExtractAI uses JavaScript rendering

Many sites return useful HTML over plain HTTP. ExtractAI tries a static fetch first when the strategy layer predicts it will work.

When the page is an SPA shell, blocked, or otherwise empty of extractable content, the pipeline can cascade to Playwright (headless Chromium) to render JavaScript.

You do not configure proxies or CAPTCHA solvers yet — those are on the roadmap. For now, prefer public pages that allow automated access and respect rate limits.
