By default, /getPageSource returns HTML and nothing else - cookies set during the navigation are dropped after the response is sent. Set get_cookies=true to capture them.

​
Request

curl -X POST "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource?url=https://example.com&get_cookies=true" \
  -H "x-scrapeunblocker-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

​
Response shape

When get_cookies=true, the response becomes JSON: 
{
  "html": "<!DOCTYPE html>...",
  "cookies": [
    {
      "name": "session_id",
      "value": "abc123...",
      "domain": ".example.com",
      "path": "/",
      "expires": 1735689600,
      "httpOnly": true,
      "secure": true,
      "sameSite": "Lax"
    }
  ],
  "proxy": "us"
}
FieldWhat it is
htmlThe page source, same as you’d get without get_cookies
cookiesEvery cookie set during the navigation, in canonical form
proxyISO country code of the proxy that served the request

​
What you can do with the cookies

​
Replay them on your own client

If a site sets a session cookie that gates access to data, you can fetch the page through ScrapeUnblocker once, capture cookies, then make follow-up requests directly with those cookies attached. Faster than going through the proxy for every call. 
import requests

r1 = requests.post(
    "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource",
    params={"url": "https://example.com/login-landing", "get_cookies": True},
    headers={"x-scrapeunblocker-key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)
cookies = {c["name"]: c["value"] for c in r1.json()["cookies"]}

r2 = requests.get(
    "https://example.com/api/internal-data",
    cookies=cookies,
)
This only works if the target site doesn’t bind sessions to the original IP. Many do. If r2 fails, route follow-up requests through ScrapeUnblocker too.

​
Debug bot-protection state

Some sites set bot-detection cookies (cf_clearance, __cf_bm, datadome, _dd_s) that are signed against the originating IP. Capturing them lets you confirm the protection actually completed - missing or empty bot cookies often correlate with a 403 on the next request.

​
Pin a proxy country for follow-up calls

The proxy field tells you which country pool served the request. If you need a follow-up call to land on the same continent (for IP-bound sessions), pass that value to proxy_country next time. See country targeting.

​
Combining with parsed_data

If you set both parsed_data=true and get_cookies=true, the response carries everything: 
{
  "data": { "page_type": "product", "source": "schema_org", "data": { ... } },
  "cookies": [ ... ],
  "proxy": "us"
}
The html field is omitted in this case - you asked for parsed data, not raw HTML.
