Data Retrieval Features

The three key data retrieval features in Scout include Geo-location, tag management and data format customization

1. Geo-Location

Sentinel Scout enables scraping jobs to be executed from specific countries, cities, or ISPs by leveraging its distributed proxy network. This makes it possible to access geo-restricted content, verify localized site versions, and build region-specific datasets.

2. Excluding / Including Tags

Scout provides fine control over the content returned from a scrape. Users can specify which HTML tags to remove or retain, ensuring cleaner outputs and reducing noise for downstream processing.

3. Data Formats

Scraped content can be retrieved in different formats depending on the use case.

• HTML for preserving structure and layout.

• JSON for structured, programmatic consumption.

• Markdown (coming soon) for lightweight, human-readable workflows.
