# Data Retrieval Features

#### 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sentinel-11.gitbook.io/sentinel-scout-ai-data-layer/data-retrieval-features.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
