Give slow sources more time to respond
For a small set of consistently slow public pages, configure a retry window that fits the request before your research session begins.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Set Retry Timeout
This tool allows users to set the maximum wait time (in milliseconds) before retrying a failed request in scrape.do. it requires a parameter 'retry timeout' (integer) which specifies the maximum time to wait before retrying, with a default of 15000 ms. it is designed to improve the reliability of web scraping operations, especially when dealing with unstable or slow-responding websites.
Why this helps
Repeatedly restarting slow source fetches adds small interruptions that break a focused work block.
- Applies a planned retry timeout to selected slow sources.
- Reduces manual restarts during recurring research.
- Keeps the retry behavior explicit in the automation instruction.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Opoint and Scrape.do to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a scheduled automation in the portal or ask Notis to set up the recurring fetch.
- 3Use one instruction naming the public slow sources and the retry timeout appropriate to the task.
- 4Choose a Notis cron trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Test one slow source and adjust the timeout based on its actual response behavior.
Questions about this workflow
Does a longer retry timeout guarantee success?
No. It controls how long Scrape.do waits before retrying a failed request; it cannot guarantee that a target site will respond.
Should I use this for every page?
Keep it for sources that are repeatedly slow. Ordinary sources do not need a longer retry window by default.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Opoint to Scrape do. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Opoint triggers
Scrape do actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get Account Information
Retrieves account information and usage statistics from scrape.do. this action makes a get request to the scrape.do info endpoint to fetch: - subscription status - concurrent request limits and usage - monthly request limits and remaining requests - real-time usage statistics rate limit: maximum 10 requests per minute
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Get rendered page content
This tool allows you to scrape web pages with javascript rendering enabled. it's particularly useful for scraping dynamic websites where content is loaded through javascript. the tool will wait for the javascript to execute and return the fully rendered html content.
Scrape webpage using scrape.do
A tool to scrape web pages using scrape.do's api service. it makes a basic get request to fetch the content of a target webpage while handling anti-bot protections and proxy rotation automatically.
Use Scrape.do Proxy Mode
This tool implements the proxy mode functionality of scrape.do, which allows routing requests through their proxy server. it provides an alternative way to access web scraping capabilities by handling complex javascript-rendered pages, geolocation-based routing, device simulation, and built-in anti-bot and retry mechanisms.
Set Cookies for Scraping
This tool allows users to set specific cookies for their scraping requests to a target website. it is useful for maintaining session states or authentication through cookies.
Set Scrape.do Super Mode
The scrape do set super mode tool enables enhanced scraping by using residential and mobile proxies, bypassing blocks and restrictions associated with datacenter ips. when the 'super' parameter is set to true, it activates a mode that leverages a network of residential ip addresses, which is particularly useful to bypass strict anti-bot measures and for accessing websites that block datacenter ips.
Block specific URLs during scraping
This tool allows users to block specific urls during the scraping process. it's particularly useful for blocking unwanted resources like analytics scripts, advertisements, or any other urls that might interfere with the scraping process or slow it down. it provides granular control by allowing users to specify url patterns to block, thereby improving scraping performance and maintaining privacy.
Set custom headers for scrape.do request
A tool to send custom headers with scrape.do requests. this allows simulating specific browser behaviors or adding authentication headers by controlling all headers sent to the target website.
