These fields are not a fixed response schema. | Path | Observed type | Example | | --- | --- | --- | | `navUrls` | `array` | 3 items | | `navUrls` | `array` | 3 items | | `payload` | `object` | 1 fields | | `payload.level_1` | `array` | 3 items | ## Execution behavior A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job. ## Related documentation - [Authentication](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/authentication) - [Jobs and results](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/jobs) - [Errors and retries](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/errors) - [Idempotency](https://docs.upscrape.com/docs/api/idempotency)
