TARGET
Contents
Definition
There may be times when you want to exactly specify the interface through which you are interested in handling the web. For this, we offer access through BROWSER (Beta), TRAVERSER, SURL.
BROWSER
(Beta)
TARGET <| BROWSER |
TRAVERSER
To specify that you’re interested in having the query be evaluated via traverser, simply assign it as the TARGET.
TARGET <| TRAVERSER |
SURL
When you’d like to run something on a client’s computer, you use curl. When you’d like to run something on a (our) server’s computer, simply assign it as the TARGET.
This woud be useful for scenarios where you don’t want to invoke a cloud browser.
TARGET <| SURL |
Examples
Traverser
Here is an example of a query to force a request to run on our cloud browser even though it’s a single page query and could suffice with just a SURL request.
TARGET <| TRAVERSER |
ph <| https://producthunt.com |
FROM ph
|> SELECT title
Browser
Here is an example of a query to force a request to run through the local browser.
TARGET <| BROWSER |
ph <| https://producthunt.com |
