What is the Web Access API?
The Web Access API is Scrappey's browser rendering API for JavaScript-heavy websites and browser verification flows, where access is authorized. Unlike simple HTTP clients that fail on dynamic pages, it renders content using real browser engines, with consistent browser session configuration and verification workflow handling.
Built for developers who need reliable access to JavaScript-heavy sites they're permitted to use, it combines residential proxy rotation (50M+ IPs across 195+ countries), verification workflow handling (common verification steps including image, interactive, and invisible checks), and real browser rendering to achieve a 95%+ success rate on modern, dynamic sites.
What makes it useful is its simplicity: one API call replaces managing proxies, browsers, verification handling, and retry logic. Just send your request, and we handle the rest – from rendering dynamic pages to returning clean HTML or parsed data.
Universal language support
Scrappey is a simple HTTP endpoint, so it works with any programming language that can make a request. No language-specific SDKs required — just send JSON and get results.
How it works
- 1
Standard HTTP request
POST to our API endpoint with your key and a JSON payload. Works with any HTTP client in any language — requests, axios, cURL, you name it.
- 2
JSON in, JSON out
Describe the scraping task as plain JSON. No SDKs, no language-specific wrappers, no build step to learn.
- 3
Universal compatibility
Python, Node.js, PHP, Go, Ruby, Java, C#, Rust — if it can make an HTTP request, it works with Scrappey.
Reliable web access features
Infrastructure that keeps authorized workflows reliable
Browser & CDN Verification Handling
Supports common browser and CDN verification flows encountered during authorized access, including challenge pages and invisible checks. Built for JavaScript-heavy sites you are permitted to use.
Verification Workflow Handling
Built-in handling for common verification steps encountered in permitted workflows, including image, interactive, and invisible verification. No additional service needed.
Residential & Mobile Proxies
Rotating proxies from 195+ countries. Choose specific locations or let us auto-select. Includes both residential and datacenter IPs.
Real Browser Rendering
Uses real browser engines with consistent browser session configuration. Executes JavaScript, handles cookies, and maintains sessions automatically.
Automatic Retry & Rotation
Failed requests automatically retry with different IPs and session configurations. Configurable retry logic and backoff strategies.
REST API + SDKs
Simple REST API with official SDKs for Python, Node.js, PHP, and Go. No browser management or proxy setup required.

When should you use the Web Access API?
Honest guidance to help you choose the right solution
✅ Use the Web Access API When:
- Site sits behind CDN or browser verification flows you are authorized to access
- You need verification steps handled automatically in permitted workflows
- You want to avoid managing proxies and browsers
- Response time of 10-30 seconds is acceptable
- You need rotating residential IPs
⚠️ Consider Alternatives When:
- Site serves static content (use simple HTTP requests)
- You need sub-second response times (use direct API if available)
- Site has an official API (always prefer APIs)
- You're processing millions of pages daily (may need custom solution)
- Site's terms do not permit your intended use (always review terms and applicable law first)
