Web Scraping

Scrape any site at scale. From simple pages to sites that fight back.

Send a URL and get structured data. Connect Puppeteer or Playwright for full control, or reach for BrowserQL when bot detection is the whole problem. We handle the infrastructure either way.

Powerful Features

Everything you need for web scraping

Built to handle the most challenging scraping scenarios with ease

Bypass Bot Detection

Stealth routes, captcha solving, and BrowserQL's CDP-level control combine to bypass Cloudflare, Datadome, and other bot detectors. Available across all of our scraping APIs.See Docs

HTML & JSON Output

Render and evaluate pages with our browsers, then return the HTML or JSON. Use with Scrapy, Beautiful Soup, or any parsing library you prefer.See Docs

Full Puppeteer & Playwright

Use the standard Puppeteer and Playwright libraries to run any script. Click buttons, navigate dynamic content, or execute complex browser automation.See Docs

Session Reconnects

Keep browsers alive for reconnecting to maintain session cache and cookies. Cut proxy usage by around 90% instead of loading each page in a fresh browser.See Docs

WebSocket Endpoints

Extract HTML to parse or use the unlocked WebSocket endpoint with your favorite automation tools. Full flexibility for your workflow.See Docs

Lightning Fast

Optimized infrastructure delivers 5x faster scrapes compared to alternatives. Spend less time waiting and more time extracting valuable data.See Docs

See what our customers have to say about their experience

“We started using another scraping company's headless browsers to run Puppeteer scripts. But, it required a Vercel upgrade due to slow fetch times, and the proxies weren't running correctly. I found Browserless and had our Puppeteer code running within an hour. The scrapes are now 5x faster and 1/3rd of the price, plus the support has been excellent.”

Nicklas Smit

Full-Stack Developer, Takeoff Copenhagen

“We built a scraping tool to train our chatbots on public website data, but it quickly got complicated due to edge cases and bot detection. I found Browserless and set aside a day for the integration, but it only took a couple of hours. I didn't need to become an expert in managing proxy servers or virtual computers, so now I can stay focused on core parts of the business.”
