Scraping APIs take care of the hardest parts of web data collection — proxy rotation, retries, CAPTCHAs, browser fingerprints and JavaScript rendering — and return the page or parsed data through a simple API call.
The providers below sell scraping APIs. Many also sell proxies, and their cards link across to our proxy directory. Starting prices are per 1,000 requests at the lowest published self-serve rate; rendering JavaScript or using premium proxies usually costs more.
Filter by the type of API you need — general web pages, search engine results, e-commerce, social media, unblockers or hosted browsers — and check whether the provider bills only for successful requests.
A scraping API fetches a web page for you — handling proxies, retries, CAPTCHAs and, optionally, JavaScript rendering — and returns the HTML or parsed data. You send a URL or query; the provider deals with blocking.
You're only charged for requests that return the content you asked for. Failed or blocked requests aren't billed, which makes costs more predictable on difficult targets.
JavaScript rendering, premium proxies and protected targets often cost extra credits or a higher rate. Compare the effective price for the kind of pages you'll actually scrape.
