Pros The ease of use, simplicity, and reliability of the service is top notch. Highly recommend for all scraping needs. Cons Breakdown of credit costs can be confusing, especially as you use premium parameters. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. BH Bryan H. Director of Technical Operations Marketing and Advertising ### "No Fuss No Muss" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 5, 2024 Easy and straightforward. Documentation is very detailed and makes it simple to get up and running. Pros Ease of use and the API functionality makes it easy for anyone on my team to use and can be quickly added to analysis projects to gather additional data or verify existing. Cons I can't honestly think of any off the top of my head; not so much a con, but we've found better options for massive data-pulls, but I think those are somewhat out of the scope of ScraperAPI's goal. Reasons for choosing ScraperAPI We use several types of scraping products, but in terms of quick on the fly responses to our requests, ScraperAPI was one of the best options. When we need to scrape millions of records we use other solutions, but for real-time gathering we use ScraperAPI. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Jack W. Co-founder Research ### "Inconsistent tool." 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 September 16, 2023 3/10 overall. Straight forward to set up, documentation seems fine but is lacking in areas. Inconsistency in the actual job of the platform. Wouldn't recommend to a friend unless you're trialling a concept. Pros It's cheap. If you want to prototype a new concept, use ScraperAPI. Cons ScraperAPI is temperamental. For a day you'll have no issue running links through the platform. The next day, a large portion of your scrape requests will timeout with no explanation. Given that we are building a prototype, it is OK. Though once we move to the next stage of development, it is likely we'll use a consistent alternative. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Emre K. Security Software Engineer Computer & Network Security ### "Why pay a lot of money for manufacturer APIs when there is ScraperAPI?" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 18, 2023 If I review my ScraperAPI experience, I can come to the conclusion that it is great software for me and my company. Pros ScraperAPI's cheap price and variety of API services are my favorite features. Cons My least favorite feature of ScraperAPI is that some APIs are too restrictive. Alternatives considered [Apify](https://www.capterra.com/p/150854/Apify/) Reasons for choosing ScraperAPI There were times when I preferred alternative products due to different API options. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. AU Anonymous User CTO Online Media ### "Prices increased by 1000% and quality degraded like crazy" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 September 27, 2022 Pros Back in the day it was the cheapest scraping provider, they charged by request no matter if you used JS or not. Cons I couldn't use up my credits any more because over 80% of the requests were failing. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 10, 2022 Hello, thanks for leaving us a review. You're right in that we increased the pricing recently. The price increase was done in three ways (domain/credits based, monthly price and feature/credits) this means that users that scrape small sites still pay a cheap price while bigger and harder pages to scrape pay slightly more compensated by a higher success rates for those pages. Features are now added to more or less all plans and users get the option to use them and get charged with credits rather than paying an extra flat fee monthly for the same feature (which was our previous model). Nevertheless, ScraperAPI always was and still is one of the cheapest scraping providers (and we aim to remain one of the cheapest), especially when it comes to data extraction from major platforms, such as Google or Amazon. We are more than happy to to offer you a customised plan that would fit your needs, just get in touch via support@scraperapi.com and someone there will help you out. JR James R. IT Specialist Real Estate ### "fast, stable, but does not support scraping Facebook Marketplace" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 June 7, 2022 Pros Easy to use and very fast. Fetching huge amount of webpages from Google without any problems. Cons does not support scraping Facebook and Instagram Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 10, 2022 Hi James, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! Hopefully Facebook and Instagram scraping is something we can offer in the future, but at the moment I'm afraid we don't support it. Michael W. Full Stack Developer Information Technology and Services ### "Essential Tool for Scraping." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 29, 2022 Pros We use this tool to scrape publically available profiles on Instagram and it has worked wonderfully for most of the time. The price is also cheaper than other scrapers I've found and/or use. There are times when the success drops, but they never charge for failures and always work on a fix. Unfortunately, right now is one of the times with a low success rate, but it still works whereas the other scraper I tried didn't work at all (to be fair I didn't contact them about it, so as to give them an opportunity to fix it). Thank you for always working on this, and I hope to be able to use this tool for as long as we require this data for our product. :) Cons The thing I like the least is the low success times (we only have this issue with Instagram). Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor October 10, 2022 Hi Michael, thanks for the review! At the moment we don't scrape Instagram unfortunately so that is the reason for the low success rates. Otherwise, you're good to scrape pretty much any other page out there. Emanuele S. CTO Program Development ### "Best product on the market" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 January 18, 2022 Pros The type of contract in which each call has the same cost Cons Nothing in particular, it has all the functions you need Switched from [Crawlbase](https://www.capterra.com/p/194309/ProxyCrawl/) Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Software Engineer Information Technology and Services ### "Great Proxy service" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 12, 2022 It is very benefits in ecommerce and housing sites that we can scrape it. Pros It is very cost friendly and high scalable Cons it should have a post api support. It should support he more thread at a time. Reasons for choosing ScraperAPI It is very cost friendly Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor March 3, 2022 Hi Vishal, thank you for your review! We do support concurrent threads. Our plans have an optimal number of concurrent threads based on the number of API credits but you can always add more. RB Ryan B. Co-Founder Capital Markets ### "ScraperAPI Review" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 11, 2022 Pros This made scraping simpler and worry-free. I am about to use my software for hours at a time without needing to manually interfere at all. Cons I wish that use of the country code was included with the base price, but other than that the software has been very helpful. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor March 3, 2022 Hi Ryan, thank you for your review! The plans with a higher number of API credits do have Geotargeting included.
