Upscrape blog

Guides and engineering notes on getting live data from websites and platforms, with real requests and measured results.

Same capability, same data; what differs is who picks the call. On the REST side, code already knows the operation and sends POST /execute with blinkit.search. On the MCP side, the agent searches the catalog with upscrape_search_capabilities, then calls upscrape_execute with blinkit.search. Both returned the same 5 products, 2,410 bytes, with the same SHA-256.
