01What does ScrapeOps do?+
ScrapeOps aggregates proxy providers for web scraping. We test and monitor providers so you don't have to, route each website to the best-performing option at the lowest cost, and fall back automatically when one fails. Our two products are the Web Scraping API Aggregator and the Residential Proxy Aggregator.
02Which aggregator should I choose?+
Choose the Web Scraping API Aggregator if you don't want to build and maintain your own scraping infrastructure: send a URL and we handle browser rendering and anti-bot bypass. Choose the Residential Proxy Aggregator if you want raw residential proxies for a scraper or browser you run yourself. Compare the aggregators.
03How do you find the best provider for my website?+
We continuously test and benchmark every Web Scraping API and residential proxy provider using production data. Each domain is routed to the provider with the best performance at the lowest cost, and the ranking is re-checked as results change. Read the research.
04What happens if a provider starts failing?+
Every domain has multiple providers behind it. If one starts failing on a website, requests fall back to the next provider automatically, so you don't have to switch anything yourself.
05How is usage billed?+
The Web Scraping API Aggregator is pay per successful request, using API credits that vary by target and enabled features. The Residential Proxy Aggregator is pay per GB. See API pricing and residential pricing for exact rules.
06Can I test providers on my website first?+
Yes. The free Proxy Tester benchmarks 20+ providers against your target URL and emails you a ranked report with success rate, latency and cost. Both aggregators also come with a free trial.
07Does ScrapeOps still offer monitoring and scheduling?+
Yes. Monitoring & Scheduling lets you monitor your scrapers and schedule jobs on your own servers from the ScrapeOps dashboard.
