Ideal Use Cases

ScrapingAnt is a web scraping API that provides headless Chrome rendering and proxy rotation. Developers access the service through a single authenticated API endpoint to extract data from dynamic or protected websites.

Ideal Use Cases

JavaScript-heavy sites & SPAs: Browser rendering at 10 credits handles dynamic client-side pages.
E-commerce & price monitoring: Bypasses anti-bot protection like Cloudflare on retail sites.
Search engine results (SERP): Dedicated endpoint for Google, Bing, and Yandex result pages.
Brand protection & counterfeit monitoring: Geotargeting parameter supports 24 specific countries.

Poor Use Cases

Large-scale crawling: Chrome rendering at 10 credits is costlier than static HTML.
Multi-step flows & logged-in sessions: Direct API uses per-request rotation rather than session persistence.
Real-time, low-latency lookups: Full browser rendering and 60-second timeouts increase response time.
Sneaker & ticket purchasing bots: Request timeout range of 5-60 seconds is too slow for drops.

Integrating ScrapingAnt API

Developers connect to the service via an HTTPS API endpoint using GET or POST requests. Authentication is handled by providing an API key through the x-api-key query parameter or a request header.

curl --request GET \
--url 'https://api.scrapingant.com/v2/general?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com&x-api-key=<YOUR-API-KEY>'

The same API is also reachable as a proxy gateway at proxy.scrapingant.com:8080 (HTTP) or proxy.scrapingant.com:443 (HTTPS) using basic auth, where the username is the literal 'scrapingant' optionally followed by &-separated API parameters (e.g. scrapingant&browser=false&proxy_type=residential), the password is the API key, and SSL verification must be disabled.

curl -x "http://scrapingant:YOUR-API-KEY@proxy.scrapingant.com:8080" -k "http://httpbin.org/ip"

import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.scrapingant.com/v2/general',
    params={
        'url': 'https://example.com',
        'x-api-key': '<YOUR-API-KEY>'
    }
)
print(response.text)
