General-purpose scraping API with JS rendering and rotating proxies.
Large included volume if you stay on plain requests.
JS rendering and premium proxies burn credits 5-25x. Headline volume is misleading.
Anti-bot bypass scraping API with a universal endpoint.
Strongest pitch on protected sites.
Entry price is highest of the four; multipliers apply as with ScrapingBee.
Web data infrastructure: crawl, scrape and deliver structured JSON
Its single credit balance across crawling, proxies, storage and scrapers, with success-only billing, sets it apart from per-request APIs.
JavaScript rendering doubles credits and site difficulty multipliers (up to x20) apply automatically, so headline per-1,000 rates understate spend on hard sites.
Web scraping API with rotating proxies, WAF bypass and JS rendering
Scrape.do is a credit-based scraping API that combines proxies, bypass and rendering, with per-domain pricing that can raise the cost of some sites.
Credits are per successful request and per-domain costs range from 1 to 200 credits, and the Free tier, credit-reset cadence and geo-country count are stated inconsistently across pages.
One API key for scraping, browsers, and AI agents across the web.
One credit pool covers scraping, browser, screenshot and extraction calls, so a single plan funds several tools.
Credit cost rises with JS rendering (5x), residential proxies (25x) and screenshots (60x), and the success-rate and competitor claims on the site are vendor-stated.
Scraping API with headless Chrome, rotating proxies and AI extraction
ScrapingAnt bundles headless Chrome, rotating proxies and AI extraction behind one API, with a free monthly credit allowance and no concurrency cap on any plan.
The pricing page does not state how many credits a JS-rendered or premium-proxy request costs, and standalone proxies are billed per GB with no published prices, so real cost per page is unclear until you test.
Scraping API with rotating proxies, JS rendering and CAPTCHA handling
Scrapingdog is a low-cost scraping API with a 100-credit free tier and a wide plan ladder, useful for comparing per-1k credit pricing against the other scraping APIs.
Credits are consumed per request type: JS rendering costs 5 credits, premium proxy 10 and JS plus premium 25, so the listed request counts drop quickly for JavaScript-heavy targets.
