Octoparse is fine for small jobs—but scaling scraping through a point-and-click interface gets frustrating fast. With our developer-first API, you can scale confidently with just code.

REST API

No bots to babysit or workflows to tweak—just send a URL, and we deliver the content, no matter how complex the page.

Proxy mode, just in case

For users needing proxy integration, our proxy mode lets you route traffic your way, while still benefiting from our infrastructure.

We use ScrapingBee to extract real-estate listings from dozens of websites. ScrapingBee API helped us focus on our core-business instead of managing headless browsers by ourselves. Maxime Le Segretain Maxime Le Segretain Co-Founder @ Hello DingDong
