ScrapingBee is a modern alternative to PhantomBuster for teams that want an API-first scraping workflow. Turn any URL into HTML, extracted JSON, or clean Markdown-without managing browsers, proxies, or brittle parsing code. ScrapingBee turns any URL into reliable web data with clean options for rendering and extraction—so your workflows stay simple, debuggable, and ready to scale. Only pay for successful requests (HTTP 200 or 404), which makes it safe to retry transient failures without wasting budget. Markdown and plain-text output plus selector rules and AI extraction help you convert pages into usable data with minimal post-processing. ScrapingBee is a production-ready web scraping API built for reliability, scaling, and clear outputs. Send a URL, pick your options, and get back exactly what your pipeline needs. Fetch pages in a single API call and return raw HTML, selector-based extractions, AI-extracted JSON, or LLM-ready Markdown/text. Start at $49/mo and grow to higher concurrency tiers (up to 200 concurrent requests) as your scraping volume increases. Scrape realtime SERPs for keywords with a dedicated endpoint-perfect for rank tracking, audits, and competitive research. Describe the fields you want (ai_query / ai_extract_rules) and receive structured JSON that stays resilient even when HTML changes. Extract targeted data with selector rules (extract_rules) so you don’t waste time writing one-off parsing logic. Return page content as Markdown (or plain text) for indexing, knowledge bases, and modern AI workflows. Clean docs, simple parameters, and predictable scaling-so you can ship, iterate, and monitor confidently. Toggle JavaScript rendering, use premium/stealth proxies, keep sessions, wait for elements, and capture screenshots with simple API parameters. Use cURL directly or integrate fast with official SDKs for Python and Node.js. Combine SERP scraping + page extraction + structured outputs to power rank tracking, content monitoring, and site intelligence. Lean on priority email support plus an extensive knowledge base packed with real-world examples and troubleshooting guidance. Cancel anytime, no questions asked!
