1st run with A0. I think I need a better scraping Strategy

I am trying to configure A0 to first conduct some research and gather Intel for my current project (i am trying to scrape data from a paid platform that I am subscribed to) l. I set up Zero with Claude Sonnet 4.6 and then had two sub-agents that were connected via Openrouter google/gemini-3-flash-preview. On the first go, everything seemed to be operating fine but in the end we didn't get very far. The browser agent is having trouble getting past certain parameters in certain websites/platforms. I then switched the Gemini API to Claude Haiku. Same issues. From there A0 spun out some python script and a strategy to more effectively bypass some of the on-site parameters that were causing it to get caught in the loop and not achieve the end goal. That to was not very effective.

In the end I burned through 25K tokens on the Claude API and about $0.60 on the sub agents. Not very costly, but we spent a few hours trying to figure this thing out.

I think I need to come up with a better scraping strategy. I'm learning and that is what I'm here to do... Any advice in the direction that I should take next would be greatly appreciated.
