How does the Scraping API work?

Send us a URL via a simple API call. We handle everything — proxy rotation, browser rendering, CAPTCHA solving, and retries. You get back the HTML or structured data. No infrastructure to manage on your end.

What counts as one API credit?

One successful request equals one credit. Failed requests (network errors, timeouts) are not charged. JavaScript rendering is included in all credits at no extra cost.

Can it scrape JavaScript-heavy websites?

Yes. All plans include full JavaScript rendering using real headless browsers. Single-page apps, dynamically loaded content, and infinite scroll pages are all handled automatically.

What's the difference between Starter and Growth plans?

Starter uses datacenter proxies with US/EU targeting. Growth and above unlock residential & mobile proxies and worldwide geolocation — much better success rates on protected sites.

How do you handle CAPTCHAs?

Our infrastructure automatically detects and solves CAPTCHAs including reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, and others. This is built into the service — no third-party CAPTCHA solving services needed.

Can I get data in structured format?

Yes. The API returns structured JSON output with parsed data. You can also receive raw HTML if you prefer to parse it yourself. Webhook delivery is available for async processing.
