"at least scrape friendly"

Decidedly not. If you disable javascript for a search, you get a mostly empty page back.

The results themselves do come from an api at benchmarker.fr, but it wants a bearer token.

We provide an open search route API :

https://benchmarker.fr/opensearch?q={searchTerms}

You can then configure a redirection folowing these guidelines:

  <Url type="text/html" template="https://alternative-a.com/en/search">
    <Param name="q" value="{searchTerms}"/>
    <!-- other Params if you need them… -->
    <Param name="view" value="list"/>
    <Param name="sort" value='["reduction","DESC"]'/>
  </Url>

Can you precise, why would you scrape Alternative? Your answer will help us define the next priorities.
