SCRAPING & DATA EXTRACTION

Paid links. We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes our ranking — see how we rank.
Pricing
We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.
How we rated it
What it is
A scraping API that handles the awkward parts: rotating proxies, JavaScript rendering, and the headers that get a plain request blocked. You send a URL and get HTML back.
Who it is for
Developers who need pages from sites that resist being read, without building and maintaining proxy infrastructure.
Where it is strongest
Moderate-volume scraping of sites that block simple requests. It removes a specific, tedious category of problem.
Where it falls short
Priced per request with surcharges for the hard cases, so the cost is higher than the headline. The strongest bot protection still defeats it. And it gives you HTML — parsing and keeping that parser working is still your job.
Our verdict
Recommended as a straightforward way to get pages. Check what the source permits; the tool makes scraping easy, not lawful.
Editorial assessment. We earn a commission on some links; it does not change the ranking.
