Scrapfly
Scrapfly is a web scraping API that combines anti-bot bypass (Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai, and 20+ systems), CAPTCHA solving, and cloud browser rendering into a single endpoint. It offers 130M+ rotating proxies from 120+ countries, AI-powered data extraction with LLMs, and screenshot capture. Scrapfly is designed for developers building data pipelines and AI agents that need reliable, high-volume web access. Pricing is credit-based with prepaid monthly plans plus pay-as-you-go overflow; a free tier is available.
Viable option — review the tradeoffs
Your AI agents or data pipelines fail on bot-protected sites like those using Cloudflare or DataDome, requiring constant proxy rotation and browser management.
95%+ success rates on tough sites, JS rendering adds 5-10s latency, reliable at high volume with caching and sessions; occasional rare blocks on extreme protections.
Extracting structured data from dynamic JS-heavy pages into JSON or markdown for LLMs is manual and error-prone.
Accurate structured data 80-90% of time on standard pages, needs prompt tuning for complex sites; fast raw HTML fallback always works.
Building scalable scraping for agents means juggling proxies, fingerprints, and retries yourself.
Effortless scaling to 1000s req/min, bandwidth savings 50%+, real-time dashboard shines for debugging.
Credit-based billing surprises
JS rendering and AI extraction burn credits fast (5-10x raw scrape); monitor dashboard quotas and set throttlers to avoid unexpected pay-as-you-go overflow charges.
Scrapfly wins on developer simplicity and anti-bot focus; Bright Data for massive enterprise proxy volume.
Need quick anti-bot + browser API integration under 100k req/month.
Pure proxy needs at millions of req/day with custom infra.
Trust Breakdown
What It Actually Does
Scrapfly handles the technical headaches of extracting data from websites that block automated access, using rotating proxies and CAPTCHA solving to get past protections so your data pipeline can reliably collect information at scale.
