Pricing · Scraper API
Scraper API pricing. Per thousand requests.
The scraper API is priced per thousand requests, and that price includes the proxy, the headless browser where one is needed, and getting past whatever the target is running. You are buying a result, not the ingredients.

One thousand successful scraper API requests.
Why a request price and a gigabyte price are not comparable
Comparing a per-request API to a per-gigabyte proxy directly is the most common pricing mistake in this market. A raw proxy bills you for bandwidth and leaves the browser, the retries and the anti-bot work to you. A scraper API bills for the finished request and absorbs all of that.
The honest way to compare is cost per successfully extracted page, including the bandwidth a headless browser burns and the requests that failed. That number often surprises people in both directions, which is why we publish the components rather than a marketing claim.
Watch the credit multiplier, everywhere, not just here
Most scraper APIs price in credits, and a request can cost more than one credit depending on what it needed. A JavaScript render, a residential exit or a premium target can each multiply the cost, so a headline per-credit price and the real per-request price can differ by a lot.
We wrote a study on how the industry does this. The reason it is mentioned on our own pricing page is that the same question should be asked of us.
FAQ
Scraper API pricing, answered
How is the scraper API priced?
Per thousand requests, at the rate shown on this page. The proxy, the browser and the anti-bot handling are included in that number rather than billed on top.
Is it cheaper than using raw proxies?
It depends entirely on your target. Against something undefended, raw proxies are cheaper. Against something that needs a browser and repeated attempts, the API usually wins once you count the bandwidth and the failures.
Do failed requests cost me?
The unit is a successful request, which is the only way a per-request price is meaningful.
What is a credit multiplier?
A per-request surcharge for expensive work, like rendering JavaScript or using a residential exit. It is why a headline credit price and a real request price can diverge, and it is worth checking on any provider you compare us with.
