The reporting is excellent and the free tier is generous too. Cons My only issue was the expense of the Discovery plan. Going from free plan to this when only requiring a little more in the way of monthly credits seemed a little steep. It would be nice to have a stepping stone at $10 a month or so.

Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to set up, consistent results" June 19, 2024 5.0 Pros API is easy to use and has the lowest amount of failures out of the different scraper API’s I’ve tried. Cons Typescript SDK could use some work. However, it is open source, so it was easy to fork and make the adjustments I needed for my use case. Switched from [ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/) Better pricing and better results. Just more reliable overall and has some smart config options. Review Source JW Jason W. Owner Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scraping is easy to integrate, control, and scale" October 21, 2023 5.0 I had a number of issues with the trial level of their service and during integration as I tried to reduce per-scrap costs. Their support is great and was very helpful in working with me to find a solution. The service works well and is reliable. Aside from costs, I have no real reason why I would not use their service. Pros The online tool to test out scraps, along with the curl and python command examples were extremely useful when trialing the system. The documentation is well written and pretty thorough. The pricing scheme is easy enough to understand and the path to scale to a large volume of scraps is clear. Cons All the documentation and even interactions with support strongly push for using their ASP service--which does work very well and is very reliable. It is there premium service though and significantly increases scrap costs. It is not very clear how to use their system without using ASP when cost per-scrap is important to minimize, which means the service to non-scraping pros easy but expensive. Review Source Chen O. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Cheap, Efficient and User-Friendly Data Extraction with Scrapfly" April 3, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Scrapfly has been very positive, marked by satisfaction with its features and services. Pros The most impressive aspects of Scrapfly include its competitive pricing, intuitive user interface, comprehensive logging features, and straightforward API. Cons No significant downsides have been observed with Scrapfly to date. Review Source Justin W S. Principal Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fills a need really well" May 18, 2023 5.0 I have once needed support because items were failing at a high rate. I submitted a ticket and it was resolved within an hour of the start of the next business day. Pros The success rate overcoming anti-bot tech is fantastic. Cons The only things holding me back from larger use is my bootstrap budget. Review Source JA Jason A. CEO Information Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Experience Using Scrapfly" January 6, 2024 5.0 Pros After hitting a dead end with a data extraction project using the usual out-of-the-box Python tools, Scrapy, etc, I turned to Scrapfly. Not only can the Scrapfly SDK execute Javascript, but it can also work around common anti-scraping measures. With Scrapfly I'm able to quickly and reliably extract the data I need. Cons There are no real cons. Understanding the Python SDK took a bit, but once I had it up and running, it worked very similarly to other Python data extraction libraries. Alternatives considered [ParseHub](https://www.capterra.com/p/145965/ParseHub/) Reason for choosing Scrapfly Scrapfly easily integrates into my codebase. I don't need to configure it using web GUIs.

Senior Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great web scraping api" May 21, 2024 4.0 Pros Its really easy to use. Just get the API keys and then call an api requests and nothing more complicated than that. Cons The interface could look nicer. Its not bad but not the most polished. Again for scraping as long as it works thats what I cared about more. Review Source Guillaume D. Associate Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Web Scraping easy" January 29, 2024 5.0 Pros Easy to setup, clear documentation, Webhooks, Scenarios, possibility to add js custom scripts in the scrapper. Cons The admin user interface could be better Alternatives considered [ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrape as a service, quickly!" March 27, 2024 5.0 Great. They have receptive support and even offered tips for my current scrapes. Pros Simple API, easy to use once I got the hang of it. Responses were fast and they really offer a lot with the basic memberships. The anti-scrape protection is great. Cons The concurrent connections is what slows me down. I really wanted a lot to run but that costs more. Reason for choosing Scrapfly I didn't want to spend time setting up my own server and handling anti-scrape protections. Review Source SD Sascha D. \- Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good service, spontaneous price increase" March 29, 2023 5.0 Pros Scrapfly was easy to set up and offers an easy and comparably stable access to website data. Cons While the service is very likeable, the recent and quite substantial price increase came rather surprisingly.

Shields my bots from the varied nature of websites across the internet Cons There could be more concurrent request allotted to the cheaper subscriptions Review Source Dmytro Z. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Using Scrapfly for my AI project" January 30, 2024 5.0 I'm building an AI SaaS that will be easy to set up even by a non-technical person. So you don't need to know how everything works, but it just works for your case. Your AI can access your data, it can perform vector search or vector similarity search, apply filters and sorting. You can easily add, update or delete data from the AI knowledge. And AI can perform vector search across the whole communication with the user, so the context window is limitless. To showcase such a beauty I needed real data to create DEMOs. I've scraped real-estate and recruitment websites. It was pretty quick, everything worked as expected, no failures were detected. So I really appreciate the work the've done! Thank you! You've simplified my development journey Pros It was super easy to setup everything and get my first real data for my LLM Cons It's perfect for my use case, I don't really know what to write here Review Source MP MARIA P. Product Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Scrapfly Review" May 15, 2024 5.0 Pros JS Scenarios are handy, GeoLocation is available for basic-tier subcriptions, Support team is very helpful. Cons ASP (Anti-Scraping Protection) has some problems with Cloudflare. Switched from [ScrapeOps](https://www.capterra.com/p/268628/ScrapeOps/)[ScrapingBee](https://www.capterra.com/p/195060/ScrapingBee/) GeoLocation feature available for Discovery (Basic) Plan Review Source AL Alexander L. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best Scraping Service against Cloudflare" November 5, 2023 5.0 Pros \- Only service that reliably circumvents cloudflare detection - Easy and intuitive API - Transparent pricing model - Ability to replace multiple services I've used before to a single one, that can do it all Cons \- Sadly the cost (a bit more expensive than other scraping services). In the end you pay for the quality, but it's worth it :-) Switched from [Bright Data](https://www.capterra.com/p/208755/Bright-Data/)[ScraperAPI](https://www.capterra.com/p/238595/Scraper-API/) All other services do not work consistently enough for my application, which is why I've switched over after a trial period.

Researcher PhD Student Education Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Super Infrastructure Provider for Large Data Extraction " December 6, 2023 5.0 High-quality service and very supportive for researchers. Nothing to complain. Pros Easy to use; Efficient infrastructure to remove the website's overlay and keep parsers alive Cons Should closely watch whether the quota has been exceeded. Review Source PM Philipp M. Senior Dev Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best working and documented API for a long time" June 20, 2023 5.0 Running a headless browser on our server (we used symfony panther) became time consuming since you always have to upgrade browser/dll versions, libraries and so on, constantly fixing technical things. With scrapfly, we have now a reasonable priced solution that lets us focus working on the collected data, not the process to gather them. Pros After running a headless browser ourselves became too much of a hassle, we switched to scrapfly in a snap. The API is well documented and best of all is a fully working playground that generates the final code in several programming languages that simply can be pasted in your projects. After testing the possibilities for a while, it took us less than a day to finally switch from our self-knitted server solution to using this API.Scrapfly runs daily in our ecosystem and never caused an issue. Usage and pricing is transparent. Cons Nothing, we're happy. It's simply running as expected. Review Source RS Ricky S. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Webscrape" June 1, 2023 4.0 Solid experience. Would prefer an api call limit to stop our programs from calling the api successfully once we reach the limit. Had an experience where a module was incorrectly configured and it was calling the api indefinitely causing a huge jump in overuse and a large bill at the end. Pros I specifically appreciate the ability to get past bot blockers and rerouted of Ips. Cons Limited abilities to access web pages that require Javascript to load certain data points. When a page is not loaded, the api returns a success in certain instances. Our program needs to run redundancies to handle pages that don't load properly. Review Source RP Rafael P. Manager Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Scrapfly solved my problems" April 18, 2023 5.0 Pros I extract data using SCRAPFLY and the antibot system of the site I need to extract does not identify that it is a bot. Before scrapfly I couldn't do it Cons The execution time for the Javascript Scenario is a maximum of 30 seconds Review Source Response from Scrapfly May 6, 2023 Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with SCRAPFLY on Capterra. We appreciate your positive feedback on the anti-bot system's effectiveness and ability to extract data successfully with SCRAPFLY. However, regarding your comment on the execution time for the Javascript Scenario, we would like to clarify that SCRAPFLY actually supports a maximum execution time of 120 seconds, not 30 seconds, as you mentioned in your review. If you want to know more about timeout: https://scrapfly.io/docs/scrape-api/understand-timeout We hope this clarifies any confusion, and we thank you again for choosing SCRAPFLY for your data extraction needs.

Pros Well documented API and good Python SDK. It was quite easy to implent the service in our processes and scripts. The scraping is effective and reilable. Log reports and dashboard are useful and easy to navigate. Cons Actually nothing to add here, I would like to have more projects available in their bacis plan (Discovery), but I understand it makes sense to keep it as a premium feature. Review Source Steven K. CEO Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great for web scraping!" March 29, 2023 5.0 Pros With the SDK it was easy to use python to setup and execute web scraping projects. It handled many of the problems I normally have with web page scraping automatically. Support was great in answering a few of the issues I had initially. I appreciated the free tier which let me get everything working first before paying for the next tier to get the actual data I needed. Cons For what I needed the product worked better than expected. I actually didn't encounter anything I didn't like, that is why I can safely recommend others to try it for their own project.

CTO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solves so many problems" October 12, 2023 4.0 It just works, so that I can focus on developing solutions rather than scraping issues Pros You're able to scrape web pages without having to deal with any of the associated technical complication, all through an API Cons I set to use only datacenter IP range, but it still uses residential and I can't work out why Switched from [Octoparse](https://www.capterra.com/p/150508/Octoparse/) API-based solution is much cleaner Review Source Ramadan O. Managing Partner Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Magic Wand for dealing with scraping infrastructure" September 12, 2023 5.0 Pros Their antiscraping protection is top tier. Makes dealing with complex scraping enviroments a breeze. Cons Their documentation is lacking. The python SDK has a lot of advanced features which have no user friendly documentation. The DX could be improved but it's still the best we've found in the market. Review Source Charlie P.
