Resource policy

Resource policies control which request types are allowed.

from webskrap import ResourcePolicy, SessionConfig
 
config = SessionConfig(resource_policy=ResourcePolicy.LITE)

Policies

Use ALL for maximum page fidelity. Use LITE when you want a faster page load while keeping stylesheets and scripts.

Examples

Use LITE for most extraction jobs that still need styled or script-rendered HTML:

from webskrap import ResourcePolicy, SessionConfig, WebSkrapClient
 
config = SessionConfig(resource_policy=ResourcePolicy.LITE)
 
async with WebSkrapClient() as client:
    result = await client.fetch("https://example.com", config=config)

Use DOCUMENTS when you only need document-oriented HTML and can tolerate unstyled pages:

config = SessionConfig(resource_policy=ResourcePolicy.DOCUMENTS)

Resource policies are applied with Playwright routing for every request in the browser context. Scripts and XHR/fetch requests are not blocked by these presets.

CLI

webskrap fetch https://example.com --resource-policy lite
webskrap fetch https://example.com --resource-policy documents --output page.html

If a page renders incorrectly, switch back to all first. Many pages require images, fonts, media, or stylesheets for layout-dependent interactions even when the final extraction target is text.
