Overview
ScraperApi is a web scraping infrastructure service that handles proxy rotation, browser rendering, and CAPTCHA solving so developers can extract data from websites with a simple GET request. It supports both raw HTML scraping and structured data extraction for common sites. Plans include a free tier with 1,000 API calls per month.
Beginner Tip
Use the render=true parameter only when the page requires JavaScript—it consumes more credits. Start with render=false for static HTML pages to preserve your free-tier quota.
