Can the scraper handle JavaScript-heavy websites like React or Vue apps?

Yes. Enable js_render=true on the universal scraper and Oxylabs runs a headless Chromium instance that executes all client-side JavaScript before extracting the HTML. This handles SPAs, lazy-loaded content, and dynamically rendered components.

How does it handle anti-bot protection?

Oxylabs manages a global residential and datacenter proxy network with automatic IP rotation, browser fingerprinting, and CAPTCHA solving. The API handles all proxy management transparently — you just send the URL and receive structured data back. No proxy configuration needed on your end.

Can I scrape Amazon in different countries — like amazon.de or amazon.co.jp?

Yes. Both Amazon search and product scrapers accept a domain parameter (com, de, co.jp, co.uk, fr, it, es, etc.). The parser adapts to the regional layout and returns localized pricing, availability, and seller data specific to that marketplace.

Oxylabs + VS Code Copilot FAQ

Common questions about integrating Oxylabs MCP Server with VS Code Copilot.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
