Scrapingdog

Description

Scrapingdog is a web scraping and data extraction API that handles proxies and headless browsers so developers can extract data without building and maintaining their own scraping infrastructure. It is designed to handle high volumes of concurrent requests with stable uptime and returns pre-parsed JSON, reducing the amount of parsing code needed. Pages can also be turned into LLM-ready Markdown or JSON.

The service includes more than 40 dedicated endpoints across categories such as general web scraping with rotating and premium proxies and JavaScript rendering, Google APIs (including Search, Maps, News, Scholar, Trends, Jobs, Images, and Shopping), social media APIs (LinkedIn, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, and profile scrapers), and e-commerce APIs (Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Flipkart, and more). Every plan unlocks every API with no separate add-on purchases.

Scrapingdog runs on a credit system, where each request consumes a number of credits based on the endpoint used; for example, a standard request costs one credit while JavaScript-rendered or premium-proxy requests cost more. Failed, blocked, and timed-out requests are automatically refunded, so users only pay for data they successfully receive.

Pricing scales across many tiers, from a free plan with 200 credits up to enterprise-scale plans, with higher tiers adding more monthly credits, concurrency, geotargeting, and support. A 30-day free trial and 200 free credits are available with no credit card required, and annual billing is offered at ten months for twelve.
