 | returnScreenshot    | Optional, default false. Captures a screenshot of the final rendered page after all challenges and waits are completed. The screenshot is returned as a Base64-encoded PNG string in the `screenshot` field of the response.                                                                                                                 |
 | proxy               | Optional, default disabled. Eg: `"proxy": {"url": "http://127.0.0.1:8888"}`. You must include the proxy schema in the URL: `http://`, `socks4://` or `socks5://`. Authorization (username/password) is not supported. (When the `session` parameter is set, the proxy is ignored; a session specific proxy can be set in `sessions.create`.) |
 | waitInSeconds       | Optional, default none. Length to wait in seconds after solving the challenge, and before returning the results. Useful to allow it to load dynamic content.                                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| disableMedia        | Optional, default false. When true FlareSolverr will prevent media resources (images, CSS, and fonts) from being loaded to speed up navigation.                                                                                                                                     |
