01
Name the business purpose.
State the decision, intended users, and expected value. Use that purpose to set source, field, cadence, retention, and access requirements.
Purpose drives scope
Trust Center · Responsible web data
Connect a specific business purpose to named public webpages, the minimum useful record, collection cadence, destination, and accountable owners. Keep that scope attached to the service configuration and downstream use.
Operating principles
Give product, data, security, and business owners one definition of what will be collected, why it is needed, what each record means, and who governs its use.
01
State the decision, intended users, and expected value. Use that purpose to set source, field, cadence, retention, and access requirements.
Purpose drives scope
02
Specify domains, page types, markets, request context, and exclusions. A brand or domain name alone does not define a collection.
Specific source brief
03
Choose the entities, fields, observation context, cadence, and missing states required by the downstream decision.
Purpose-led schema
04
Keep source URL, requested market or locale, observation time, collection state, and schema version with each record.
Interpretable output
05
Name the destination, access owner, retention and deletion owner, review process, and team accountable for decisions made with the data.
Governed downstream use
Service boundary
The boundary changes by product. Your team sets the purpose, source scope, receiving controls, lifecycle, and downstream decisions. WebScrapingAPI runs the infrastructure, API, ready-data, archive, or managed-delivery tasks included in the selected path.
Business purpose, intended users, public-source list, page types, markets, exclusions, and downstream decision.
Collector behavior with proxies; requested targets, context, timing, and response handling with APIs.
Customer parsing for proxy or unstructured outputs; required entities, fields, context, and missing states for structured paths.
Customer-run collectors, applications, receiving systems, access, storage, and downstream controls.
Destination approval, user access, retention, deletion, interpretation, review, and decisions made with the data.
Recurring scope review
Sources, fields, cadence, destinations, users, and business decisions change over time. Update the operating brief when the live program moves beyond its reviewed scope.
