Advanced scraping features with simple interface

PROS

IP Rotation and selection of IP types are very easy to set up and very powerful in practice.

CONS

Sometimes it's hard to interpret documentation examples and apply them in my own code.

Reasons for switching to Scrapfly

The very advanced features for developers is what's made possible all of my scraping needs so far

It just works and has low cost

It's my go-to scraping API I use for both personal and professional projects. It's just there, costs less than anything else, and it just works. It scrapes without a problem websites that fail on other scrapers. I work with JavaScript environments that are often limited in libraries, so the ScrapFly approach to API requests helps me a lot - I don't need to construct weird requests if I can't use the provided library. I just have one URL construction logic I reuse across all my projects. My only wish is a pay-to-go plan so I can recommend the service to even more clients who need to scrape less than thousands of pages a month and will be happier to pay a premium per request but still less than half of the cheapest plan. Overall, I highly recommend this for any scraping needs if you don't want to deal with headless browsers, captchas, proxies, etc.

PROS

It's the cheapest while not sacrificing quality. Works fast and easy to use API. API player and logs are good. Anti-Protection bypass is fully automatic, no need to redo the request.

CONS

Screenshots are the weakest part for me - they miss some parts of the website render. Anti-scraping protection could be a little smarter and try to find proxies that incur less cost per request. I manually select countries for proxies for some websites while automatic mode is happy to use proxies from countries that lead to all the anti-bot protections and the highest cost for the request.

Reasons for switching to Scrapfly

Way too expensive and works slower. Though their screenshots are better.

Reliable, fast and reasonably priced

PROS

Able to bypass datadome, fast and reliable. The API response ranges from 1 to 12 seconds and is pretty cheap. I have used a lot of similar services like ScrapingBee which is way slower and more expensive or Oxylabs which has a 10% failure rate for my use case.

CONS

The npm package is a mess, it has some Cheerio types that conflict with the ones you get when installing Cheerio manually.

Best Scraping Service against Cloudflare

PROS

- Only service that reliably circumvents cloudflare detection - Easy and intuitive API - Transparent pricing model - Ability to replace multiple services I've used before to a single one, that can do it all

CONS

- Sadly the cost (a bit more expensive than other scraping services). In the end you pay for the quality, but it's worth it :-)

Reasons for switching to Scrapfly

All other services do not work consistently enough for my application, which is why I've switched over after a trial period.
