Question 1

What is a web scraping API?

Accepted Answer

A web scraping API is a service that retrieves data from websites on your behalf. Instead of building and maintaining your own scraper infrastructure, you send a request with a target URL and receive the page content or structured data in return. The API handles proxies, browser rendering, and anti-bot protections automatically.

Question 2

Can I scrape any website with your API?

Accepted Answer

Our API is designed to work with most websites, including JavaScript-heavy pages. Success rates depend on the site's protection mechanisms and how the data is accessed. We continuously optimize routing and rendering to maximize compatibility across a wide range of targets.

Question 3

How does your API handle IP blocks and CAPTCHAs?

Accepted Answer

Requests are routed through a large rotating proxy network with automatic retries and adaptive routing. CAPTCHA challenges are detected and handled in the background, reducing failed requests and keeping scraping workflows stable.

Question 4

Do you support JavaScript rendering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can enable JavaScript rendering with a parameter in your request. We run headless browsers to load dynamic content and return the fully rendered page, making it possible to scrape modern single-page applications.

Question 5

How fast are API responses?

Accepted Answer

Response times vary depending on the target website and whether rendering is enabled. Simple requests typically return in seconds. Our infrastructure is optimized for low latency and high throughput, supporting real-time and large-scale data pipelines.

Question 6

Is web scraping legal?

Accepted Answer

Web scraping laws vary by jurisdiction and use case. Our API is a technical tool, and customers are responsible for ensuring their usage complies with applicable laws and website terms. We recommend consulting legal guidance if you have compliance questions.

Question 7

Do I need to manage proxies or infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

No. Proxy rotation, scaling, browser infrastructure, and monitoring are fully managed. You interact with a single API endpoint while we handle the underlying infrastructure.

Question 8

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is usage-based. You pay for the requests you send, with a free trial available to test performance on your workloads. There are no long-term contracts, and you can scale usage up or down as needed.

Question 9

What programming languages do you support?

Accepted Answer

The API works with any language that can send HTTP requests, including Python, Node.js, PHP, Java, Go, and others. We provide examples and documentation to help you get started quickly.

Question 10

Do you offer support or documentation?

Accepted Answer

We provide detailed documentation, code examples, and developer support to help you integrate quickly. Our goal is to make onboarding straightforward for technical teams. Live support is available on our Discord server.
