The best web scraping service I’ve used

The service works well even with websites that have complex and custom anti-bot protection.

What I especially like is the pricing model: Zyte automatically determines whether a request was successful and only charges for successful requests. This is very convenient and makes costs much more predictable when scraping difficult websites.

In a few particularly challenging cases, I contacted support, and they helped me choose the right configuration parameters and get everything working reliably.

Overall, Zyte is a very convenient and reliable service, especially if you need to work with websites that have strong anti-bot protection.

Since we started working with Zyte

Since we started working with Zyte, we have consistently experienced a level of support that truly stands out and surpasses that of their peers. While many companies can respond to support tickets, few can meet the level of responsiveness and care that clients need when facing critical issues.

The Zyte team demonstrates a genuine sense of urgency and empathy. They quickly step in to help, keep us informed throughout the resolution process with regular progress updates, and, most importantly, deliver the fixes needed to resolve issues efficiently.

Integrating Zyte API

Developers connect via a single HTTP POST endpoint or a proxy gateway at api.zyte.com:8011. Authentication is performed using Basic Auth with the API key as the username.

curl \
    --user YOUR_ZYTE_API_KEY: \
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    --data '{"url": "https://toscrape.com", "httpResponseBody": true}' \
    --compressed \
    https://api.zyte.com/v1/extract

The proxy gateway uses the API key as the username for authentication. Parameters such as browser rendering are passed through custom HTTP headers like Zyte-Browser-Html.

curl \
    --proxy api.zyte.com:8011 \
    --proxy-user YOUR_ZYTE_API_KEY: \
    --compressed \
    https://toscrape.com

import requests
from base64 import b64decode

api_response = requests.post(
    "https://api.zyte.com/v1/extract",
    auth=("YOUR_ZYTE_API_KEY", ""),
    json={
        "url": "https://toscrape.com",
        "httpResponseBody": True,
    },
)
http_response_body = b64decode(api_response.json()["httpResponseBody"])
print(http_response_body.decode())
