Scraper API is an American web-scraping infrastructure SaaS founded in 2017 by Daniel Ni that lets developers send a single HTTP request to scrape any web page while the service handles proxy rotation, headless-browser rendering, CAPTCHA solving, and JavaScript execution behind the scenes.
The product is sold primarily on a per-API-call basis with tiered concurrency limits, layered on top of a large rotating proxy pool spanning datacenter, residential, and mobile IPs across roughly forty countries; advanced features include geotargeting, sticky sessions for stateful scrapes, structured-data endpoints for sites like Amazon and Google, and webhook-driven asynchronous scrapes for very large jobs. Scraper API is part of the broader scraping-as-a-service category that emerged in the late 2010s alongside competitors including Bright Data, Oxylabs, ScrapingBee, and Apify, with a particular positioning around developer ergonomics and a generous free-tier intake for hobbyist and small-scale users.
