ScrapingBee simplified our day-to-day marketing and engineering operations a lot. We no longer have to worry about managing our own fleet of headless browsers, and we no longer have to spend days sourcing the right proxy provider

How it works
Manually collecting data from Goodreads is slow, limited and hard to scale. That's why more and more teams choose our API.
Create an account - get instant access to API key and 1,000 free credits to get started
Install our Python SDK (or Node, Go, PHP, Ruby - pick your stack). Pulling Goodreads becomes a single function call per page. No proxy rotation, no headless Chrome to manage.
Send the Goodreads URL with your API key as a parameter. Our renderer executes the page in a real browser, rotates the IP, and returns the response your scraper can act on.
When scraping Goodreads needs more, gain advanced parameters. render_js for JavaScript, stealth_proxy for CAPTCHAs, country_code for geo-targeting, ai_extract_rules for natural-language data extraction.

Scraping is 50% dealing with ever-changing HTML files and 50% massaging data into a useable format. ScrapingBee’s incredible AI feature can do both much better than I ever could. Now I can spend 100% of my time on what matters most; my business.

ScrapingBee helps us to retrieve information from sites that use very sophisticated mechanism to block unwanted traffic, we were struggling with those sites for some time now and I'm very glad that we found ScrapingBee.

Great SaaS tool for legitimate scraping and data extraction. ScrapingBee makes it easy to automatically pull down data from the sites that publish periodic data in a human-readable format.
Andy Hawkes,

Good experience. I found this proxy service more effective compared to previous ones that were being used. It is fast and efficient.
Aayushi,
Senior analyst
Fantastic service: works flawlessly, best support I've experienced. It just works: and its parsing meta-language is wonderfully powerful. Most importantly, the support I've received has been superlative.
Mike P.,
VP
Excellent service, glad we made the switch! We could always dedicate resources and build our own systems for everything... or we could simply call the scrapingBee API and focus on the data. It makes our work so much easier.
