 | 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.                                                                                                                                                                                 |

+| tabs_till_verify    | Optional, default none. Number of times the `Tab` button is needed to be pressed to end up on the turnstile captcha, in order to verify it. After verifying the captcha, the result will be stored in the solution under `turnstile_token`.                                                                                                  |

 ### + `request.post`
 
-This is the same as `request.get` but it takes one more param:
+This works like `request.get`, with the addition of the postData parameter. Note that `tabs_till_verify` is currently supported only for GET requests and requires one extra argument.
 
 | Parameter | Notes                                                                    |

 Environment variables are set differently depending on the operating system. Some examples:
-* Docker: Take a look at the Docker section in this document. Environment variables can be set in the `docker-compose.yml` file or in the Docker CLI command.
-* Linux: Run `export LOG_LEVEL=debug` and then run `flaresolverr` in the same shell.
-* Windows: Open `cmd.exe`, run `set LOG_LEVEL=debug` and then run `flaresolverr.exe` in the same shell.

 ## Prometheus exporter
 
 The Prometheus exporter for FlareSolverr is disabled by default. It can be enabled with the environment variable `PROMETHEUS_ENABLED`. If you are using Docker make sure you expose the `PROMETHEUS_PORT`.
