The Web Scraper API makes it incredibly simple to scrape the web without worrying about proxies, CAPTCHAs, headers, headless browsers and more. We've been running it internally for the past few years and are now exposing it to the world.
Hey Hunters, we're baaaack with our latest product 👋 🥳
We launched the Review Scraper API here on PH [0] back in 2018, and subsequently added several other APIs. As our scale has grown, we started to outgrow the existing web scraping solutions that we were using, both in terms of quality and cost.
In short, they just weren't working well for the price we were paying, and support was lagging behind. We launched the Web Scraper API as a solution to this, and are now offering this technology to other companies who are scraping the web at volume. As you can no doubt tell by the starting point of our pricing ($499/m) - we're not geared towards low-volume usage where other players are better suited. We're aiming for those who scrape the web with volume and are looking for an Enterprise-grade solution.
As part of this launch, we are offering:
🚀 For early adopters: 50,000 free credits to get you started (just email us after your upvote)
🔥 For those who use our competitors: 25% off your invoice for the same package (get it before 18th May - just attach the invoice to our support)
Feel free to sign up for an account and kick the tires - I'd love to hear what you think!
the coolest tool i see today. always kinda my dream to hv something like that. not sure if bypassing captcha is legal lol. congratulations on the launch.
Great to hear that you're expanding your offerings and addressing the challenges that come with scaling up. Your approach of targeting high-volume web scraping needs with an Enterprise-grade solution is a smart move. Congrats on your launch!
Hi @philip_kallberg , that sounds amazing. We've been waiting for it for a long time.
Are you offering any additional services on top of the scraped data, like entity extraction or such things?
"Without getting blocked" Bang on haha.... But seriously, congratulations on the launch @philip_kallberg
Excited to try out the Web Scraper API! What differentiates it from other web scraping solutions out there? Are there any specific use cases you have seen your API excel in?
Congratulations on the launch of your Web Scraper API! It sounds like a great solution for web scraping without the hassle. Looking forward to hearing more about it!
@philip_kallberg Exciting news! Would love to kick the tires, but when I sign up, I only see "Review Scraper API" and "Review Index API" as options in the backend. No sign of "Web Scraper API" anywhere...
