What ScraperAPI is
ScraperAPI is a web scraping service built around APIs, proxy handling, and automated page retrieval. It offers REST and asynchronous scraping APIs, JavaScript rendering, rotating and premium proxies, CAPTCHA and bot-blocker bypass, and country-code geotargeting. Structured-data parsing can return results in structured formats, while crawler and scheduled DataPipeline jobs support recurring work. ScraperAPI provides cloud execution and a self-hosted option, lists web as its platform, and supports multiple languages. Integrations include Playwright, n8n, LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP, Zapier, and Claude. Support is available through email, documentation, and community channels, and the service lists 20 parallel runs. Its freemium model includes a free plan and a 7-day trial. Free provides 1,000 API credits and five concurrent connections. Other listed allowances run from 100,000 credits and 20 threads on Hobby to 21,500,000 credits and 500 threads on Advanced. Plan prices are custom in the plan details; the pricing summary lists paid access from 44.1 /mo. Professional and Advanced have limited bonus-credit offers.
