Overview
ZenRows is a web scraping API that automatically bypasses anti-bot protections, CAPTCHAs, and IP bans so you can extract data from any website. It supports JavaScript rendering for dynamic pages and offers rotating proxies to avoid detection. Beginners can start with a simple URL parameter-based request without writing any headless browser code.
Beginner Tip
Start with the basic scraping endpoint and enable JS rendering only when needed, as it costs more API credits. Always check the response status field to confirm the scrape succeeded before parsing the HTML.
Available Data
The kind of data this API exposes, based on its documentation. We could not call the endpoint to confirm the exact field names.
Example Response
Illustrative shape only — we were not able to call this endpoint (it requires credentials or exposes no public sample URL), so the fields below show the kind of data this API returns rather than a recorded response.

} Field Reference
status_code HTTP status code returned by the target website. body Raw HTML content of the scraped page. cookies Cookies set by the target website during the request. headers Response headers returned by the target website. Implementation Example
Calls a real endpoint of this API. Replace any placeholder credentials with your own key.
const url = "https://api.zenrows.com/v1/?apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
headers: {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
}
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data); What Can You Build?
