+In this mode, the promise will be resolved when all data is ready. Synchronous jobs are perfect for quick scraping tasks where you need immediate results and don't want to handle polling logic. However, for long running jobs we recommend to use async crawling or the webhook.

-### Error Handling
-
-The SDK provides typed error handling through the `WebcrawlerApiError` class. Our error handling system is designed to provide detailed, actionable feedback that helps you quickly identify and resolve issues in your scraping pipeline.
-
-```typescript
-try {
-    const syncJob = await client.crawl({
-        "items_limit": 2,
-        "url": "https://books.toscrape.com/",
-        // This will cause an error due to missing scrape_type
-    })
-} catch (error) {
-    if (error instanceof WebcrawlerApiError) {
-        // Typed error properties
-        console.error("Error code:", error.errorCode)
-        console.error("Error message:", error.message)
-    }
-}

 ## Response Structure
 
 Example of a job response. The response structure is carefully designed to provide comprehensive information about your scraping job, including detailed status updates, timing information, and resource usage metrics.
