How the detector works

Behind the scenes we issue a single request to the target URL through the Scrappey detection backend. Every response is fingerprinted against signatures for the major anti-bot vendors — headers like cf-ray, x-datadome, x-iinfo, cookies like _abck, _pxhd, visid_incap, and challenge-page markers like /cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/. Each rule contributes to a confidence score, and the top match plus geo are returned along with a ready-to-use Scrappey API body.

No data is stored — every check is live and the result is fresh.

I need to scroll or click on a button on the page I want to scrape

Are there any usage restrictions or limitations?
Scrappey.com provides scalable access for extracting publicly available data. Whether you need to extract data from a few pages or a large dataset of publicly accessible content, you can do so with flexible usage options.

What is a request and how are they counted?
Each API call to Scrappey counts as one request. Our pricing is based on successful requests. By default, JavaScript rendering is enabled, which allows you to extract data from modern websites with dynamic content. All features including proxies, challenge handling, and reliable web access handling are included in each request.
How fast is Scrappey's API and what if a site is hard to scrape?
Scrappey's API is optimized for fast response time, even when working with JavaScript-heavy websites and browser verification flows, where access is authorized. If other tools struggle with sites that use browser verification, Scrappey is designed to handle these workflows efficiently, ensuring reliable data retrieval. Our reliable web access handling, residential proxies, and intelligent retry logic work together to maximize success rates.
