        "p": "`scrape-it` has only a simple request module for making requests. That means you cannot directly parse ajax pages with it, but in general you will have those scenarios:"
      },
      {
        "ol": [
          "**The ajax response is in JSON format.** In this case, you can make the request directly, without needing a scraping library.",
          "**The ajax response gives you HTML back.** Instead of calling the main website (e.g. example.com), pass to `scrape-it` the ajax url (e.g. `example.com/api/that-endpoint`) and you will you will be able to parse the response",
          "**The ajax request is so complicated that you don't want to reverse-engineer it.** In this case, use a headless browser (e.g. Google Chrome, Electron, PhantomJS) to load the content and then use the `.scrapeHTML` method from scrape it once you get the HTML loaded on the page."

      {
        "p": "There is no fancy way to crawl pages with `scrape-it`. For simple scenarios, you can parse the list of urls from the initial page and then, using Promises, parse each page. Also, you can use a different crawler to download the website and then use the `.scrapeHTML` method to scrape the local files."
