ScrapingBee

ScrapingBee is a web scraping API that handles headless browsers and proxies for you. That means you don't have to worry about the details of scraping websites, like how to render web pages the way a browser would if a human were visiting. ScrapingBee can scrape websites with lots of JavaScript and those built with React, AngularJS or Vue.js.

ScrapingBee has several options:

• General Web Scraping: Good for scraping real estate, monitoring prices and pulling reviews.
• Data Extraction: Pull formatted JSON data with simple extraction rules.
• JavaScript Scenario: Run your own JavaScript code on websites, including clicking buttons, scrolling down and waiting for elements to load.
• Screenshots: Take full or partial screenshots of websites.
• Search Engine Result Page: Scraping search engine result pages, including Google.
• No Code Web Scraping: Use the Make integration to build your own web scraping engines without writing any code.

The API takes care of proxies and headless browsers, which can help you avoid rate limits and get blocked by websites.

Pricing is based on API credits and the number of requests you can make at the same time:

• Freelance: $49 per month (150,000 API credits, 5 concurrent requests)
• Startup: $99 per month (1,000,000 API credits, 50 concurrent requests)
• Business: $249 per month (3,000,000 API credits, 100 concurrent requests)
• Business +: $599+ per month (8,000,000+ API credits, 200+ concurrent requests)

All plans include features like JavaScript rendering, rotating proxies and geotargeting. You can cancel at any time with no questions asked.

ScrapingBee offers a free trial with 1000 API calls so you can try the service before you sign up for a plan. That should be enough for small projects, but it's also good for bigger data harvesting jobs.
