ScraperAPI
ScraperAPI is a general-purpose scraping API that manages proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and browser rendering behind a single endpoint, with specialized async and structured-data modes plus a no-code DataPipeline tool for recurring jobs. It bills on a per-request credit system that scales with the anti-bot difficulty of the target site, with paid plans starting at $49/month after a 7-day free trial (no persistent free tier).
