Web data infrastructure for scraping, proxies, and AI-ready datasets
Unlocker, SERP, Browser, and Crawl APIs fetch and parse public pages, handle anti-bot measures and CAPTCHAs, and return results in JSON, HTML, or Markdown.
Residential, ISP, and datacenter proxy pools with country, city, and ASN targeting, plus proxy management APIs for rotation and session control.
Structured endpoints for well-known domains such as LinkedIn, Amazon, and social platforms, delivering fresh records on demand or on a schedule.
Purchase or filter pre-collected datasets across business, e-commerce, social, and real-estate categories with billions of records available.
Agentic, no-code web scraping that turns any URL into clean structured data
Describe the site you want to scrape and let the AI Assistant browse it and assemble a working extraction task for you, then refine the selectors visually.
Start from maintained bundles for Twitter/X, Google Maps, Amazon top lists, TikTok, Google SERPs and more, including search APIs via REST and MCP.
Run tasks on a fleet of real cloud browsers with parallel subtasks and automatic IP rotation, so large jobs complete 24/7 without local hardware.
Navigate pagination, submit forms, authenticate into gated areas and handle CAPTCHAs, returning structured output from JavaScript-heavy sites.
Offers a massive marketplace of pre-built scrapers and robust developer APIs, but requires more technical configuration than Octoparse.
