Google has been pretty good at blocking programmatic requests even for non-commercial, self-archival purposes and ScraperAPI has been extremely effective and getting around those. While getting the requests routed through ScraperAPI has been much slower than say, routing it through one of the free proxy servers,
The ease of use and the fact that there were multiple ways of using it made this desirable. The simple API usage let me prototype and decide what element I need to look for, and used the proxy method in the software to make the integration seamless.
ScraperAPI does not allow for web elements to be rendered, at least not until I am on the most expensive plan. While this has not been limiting so far, the lack of this feature has led me to use ScraperAPI along with other proxy methods as opposed to using ScraperAPI exclusively.
Hi Arun, thank you for your review! You are correct, at the moment only our Business and Enterprise plans offer JS Rendering, but we are working on offering them for the lower volume plans as well. Stay tuned!

We are a Data Acquisition company, Due to our scale we were struggling to build and maintain inhouse solutions to avoid bot detection. The proxy service such as Luminati are impossible for us to afford and we cannot also hire a developer to work on our in-house solution. Scraper API provides us with an easy to use scraping option for tougher sites without any commitment in a fraction of cost.
I love that I am able to access Amazon, g2.com, or any website with protection with even the basic package without JS. This allows to do data acquisition faster and at cheaper rates. Also, I like the pricing models(no commitments), 29 USD for 250k requests which serves our purpose perfectly. Also, Shout out to [SENSITIVE CONTENT] in support who helped to resolve a billing issue in a day.
I wish they allowed the remaining credits to be rolled over to the next month. If this is implemented, it would even provide a lot of value to startups such as ours
Hi! Thank you for your review! Although we do not allow rolling over credits, we are currently working on a feature that will do something similar. Stay tuned!

Back in the day it was the cheapest scraping provider, they charged by request no matter if you used JS or not.
I couldn't use up my credits any more because over 80% of the requests were failing.
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...

If I review my ScraperAPI experience, I can come to the conclusion that it is great software for me and my company.
ScraperAPI's cheap price and variety of API services are my favorite features.
My least favorite feature of ScraperAPI is that some APIs are too restrictive.

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. :)
The thing I like the least is the low success times (we only have this issue with Instagram).
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.
