Scraping acquire.com
acquire.com requires JA4 HTTP (Tier 0) because the site uses tls fingerprinting (often cloudflare or similar). Cheaper engine tiers fail; this is the cheapest one that actually works.
Why JA4 HTTP wins on acquire.com
curl_cffi impersonates a real browser TLS handshake, so Cloudflare and similar JA4-based detectors let the request through without invoking the JavaScript challenge.
Cost math: at 1 credit per request, scraping acquire.com costs $0.10–$0.18 per 1,000 requests on the Starter tier. Compare to ScrapingBee ($1.40/1K) or Firecrawl (~$5.33/1K flat). For high-volume workloads on this domain, the credit-based model lands cheaper.
