ScraperAPI covers the same ground as other scraping APIs, rotating proxies, rendering JavaScript and handling CAPTCHAs on every plan, and adds features that suit ecommerce and search work. Structured endpoints return parsed JSON for Amazon search and product pages, Google Search, Shopping, News and Jobs, and Walmart, so teams do not maintain parsers for those sites. An Async Scraper accepts millions of requests, and DataPipeline schedules collection without code. Every plan includes unlimited bandwidth and a 99.9% uptime guarantee. The 7-day trial gives 5,000 credits with no card. Paid plans start at $49 a month for 100,000 credits and 20 concurrent threads, rising to $149 for 1 million credits and $299 for 3 million with global geotargeting. That entry price is higher than ScrapingBee's for fewer credits, and the two cheapest plans limit geotargeting to US and EU regions, which matters for teams collecting local prices or search results elsewhere.
