   bad documentation and API over charges

   First, the docuemtnation is out of date... for node.js, anyway. This meant that I had to patch together parts of the docuemtnation to get the API to work. Then, as the articles are paginated. the API charges 50 token for each page of the query, when it should be 50 tokens for the entire query. Therefore, I'd been charged 5,000 tokens within minutes. (Note: it's $150 USD for every 10,000 tokens)

   I asked for a refund, explaining the pagination issue, and was told that I made a mistake.

   I've requested my money back from the credit card company and provided them the proof of faulty documentation and billing.

   I want to give this prodect a huge shout-out! It really works like a charm!

   I've been playing around with different scraping tools in the past month, trying to find the best one to help with my research project, and I have to say this new feature of auto-detection comes like a life-savor. I only need to give the software the link and it will auto-detect the content and build the crawler for me. I can even enjoy it with just a free plan!
