Why Scrapfly is the Best Web Scraping API

Scrapfly is not just another web scraping API. We built the entire technology stack from scratch, giving us unmatched control and reliability.

Full Technology Ownership

When Cloudflare or DataDome updates their protection, we restore bypasses in days, not weeks. No waiting on third-party vendors.

Faster bypass restoration

98% Success Rate

Scrapeway benchmarks independently test all major web scraping APIs on protected sites like LinkedIn, Walmart, Zillow, and more.

Scrapfly consistently achieves 98% success rate, outperforming competitors on the most challenging targets.

Industry-leading performance

Proxy Saver Technology

Residential proxies charge $6-15 per GB. At 1 million requests, that's $3,000-7,500 in bandwidth costs.

Proxy Saver automatically reduces bandwidth by 50% by blocking junk traffic, stubbing resources, and intelligent caching.

Save $1,500+ per million requests

AI-Powered Extraction

17+ AI models for products, articles, jobs, real estate, and more
LLM prompts for custom extraction with natural language
Template rules for deterministic, repeatable extraction

No selector maintenance
