ScrapingBee

A web scraping API is a tool that collects data from websites through an API request. You send a URL and get the page HTML, rendered content, or structured data back. It lets you scrape websites without managing proxies, browsers, retries, or blocking issues yourself.

To use a web scraping API, create an account, get your API key, and send a request to the endpoint you need. Add the target URL and choose options such as JavaScript rendering, proxy type, geotargeting, screenshots, Markdown output, or JSON extraction. With ScrapingBee, you can also build the request visually in the dashboard.

With a web scraper API, you can extract data from public web pages, including product listings, prices, reviews, search results, real estate listings, job posts, news articles, company pages, and more. With AI extraction, you can also ask for specific fields in natural language instead of writing custom parsing logic.

Yes. You can automate scraping jobs by calling the API from your backend, scripts, scheduled tasks, no-code workflows, or data pipelines. ScrapingBee handles page fetching, JavaScript rendering, proxies, and anti-bot logic, so your automation can focus on when to run, which URLs to scrape, and where to send the data.

Scraper response times depend on the target website and enabled features. Simple scraping requests are faster, while JavaScript rendering and advanced anti-bot handling take longer. For complex sites, ScrapingBee uses browser rendering with rotating, premium, and stealth proxies so you don't have to build that infrastructure yourself.
