Web Scraping API Introduction The Decodo Web Scraping API provides fully managed web data extraction, handling proxies, browsers, CAPTCHAs, and anti-bot mechanisms so you can focus on utilizing the data.

​
Pricing Structure

Web Scraping API offers flexible pricing depending on your scraping volume and needs. Scraping job price is affected by two parameter selections:
  • Proxy Pool. In the Universal scraper, you can choose from Standard and Premium proxy pools. Standard is suitable for simple web pages; therefore, requests are cost-optimized, while Premium can bypass advanced anti-bot protections. Keep in mind that Target Templates use Premium proxies by default.
  • JavaScript rendering. In Universal scraper and most Target Templates, you can choose if JS should be rendered with the request. Enabling rendering increases request cost, since it consumes additional resources.

Each Self Service plan offers different rates for 1k successful requests. Specific rate depends on the combination of Proxy pool and JS Rendering used:

How it works

  1. Start collecting data with the easy-to-use dashboard scraping solution:
    • Choose a target – select the website or data source you need to scrape from our extensive templates list, or choose the universal Web target for any others, then type your URL.
    • Specify your parameters – choose your JS rendering and parsing options and customize request parameters, such as language and location.
    • Use the built-in scraper – ready-made scraper handles proxies, browsers, and anti-bot bypassing automatically.
    • Receive clean data – get structured output in HTML, JSON formats, ready for analysis.
    • You can copy cURL, Python, and Node examples straight from the dashboard Request Examples for easy integration.
  2. Explore your usage statistics in the Dashboard: see traffic breakdowns by domain, success rates, and hourly, daily, and monthly insights.

We Do Not Support Scraping Post-login Data

Scraping data after logging in often involves accessing personal or sensitive information, which many websites explicitly forbid in their terms of service. To help you stay compliant with your targeted sites and avoid any potential legal issues, we focus on providing tools for scraping only publicly available data.
