Overview

What is ScraperAPI?

ScraperAPI is a web scraping API that handles proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, retries, and headless browser rendering behind a single endpoint. It draws on a large pool of residential, datacenter, and mobile IPs, supports geotargeting, and offers structured JSON endpoints for sites such as Amazon, Google, and Walmart. An async API and DataPipeline scheduler cover large and recurring jobs. Developers, ecommerce teams, SEO agencies, market researchers, and AI teams use it to collect web data at scale.

ScraperAPI works as a REST endpoint, so it fits into any language or HTTP client that can send a request with an API key, and reviewers report using it from Python and other common languages. Developers can call it directly, route traffic through it as a proxy, or submit batches through the async API, which posts finished results to a webhook. DataPipeline schedules recurring jobs and also delivers output by webhook. Structured data endpoints return JSON for Amazon, Google, and Walmart, and text or markdown output feeds LLM and AI agent workflows. The vendor also documents connecting AI agents and automation tools to live web data.
