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 Developers Use Universal
The Universal scraper covers three recurring jobs across any public site: collecting user profile data, extracting product specifications from e-commerce pages, and pulling event listings, all through one API.
Collect user profile data
Pull public profile data from any platform using one API. Useful for cross-platform research and unified contact-discovery workflows.
Extract product specifications
Pull product specifications from any e-commerce site through one API. Useful for catalog research that spans multiple vendor sites.
Extract event listings
Pull event listings from any public events site through one API. Useful for cross-platform event aggregation and venue-research workflows.

How Universal API works
Manually collecting data from Universal 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 any website becomes a single function call per page. No proxy rotation, no headless Chrome to manage.
Send the Universal 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 any website 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.

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.

Good experience. I found this proxy service more effective compared to previous ones that were being used. It is fast and efficient.

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.
