Why Scraper8?

Web scraping should be simple, affordable, and just work. That's what we built.

Bypass Any Protection

Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, PerimeterX — Scraper8 detects and handles them all automatically. No manual config needed.

3-Level Smart Escalation

Starts with fast HTTP. If a site needs more, it auto-escalates to a stealth browser — you don't have to think about it.

Simple REST API

One POST request. Get back parsed HTML, metadata, links, images, and structured data — or raw HTML if you prefer.

Transparent Pricing

Every request costs exactly 1 credit — whether it's a simple page or a JavaScript-heavy site behind a CAPTCHA.

Open Source Core

The scraping engine is fully open source. Self-host it for unlimited use, or use our managed API — your choice.

Learns As It Goes

Domain intelligence remembers what works per site. Subsequent scrapes are faster and smarter — no manual tuning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Scraper8?

Scraper8 is a free web scraper API built by Vision8 Solutions. It automatically bypasses anti-bot protection like Cloudflare, DataDome, and Akamai using a 3-level engine escalation system — from fast HTTP requests to undetectable stealth browsers.

Is Scraper8 really free?

Yes. The free plan gives you 50 requests per day (1,500/month) with all features included — JS rendering, stealth browsers, structured extraction. No credit card required. Paid plans start at $9/month for higher limits.

How is Scraper8 different from other scraping APIs?

Most scraping APIs use credit multipliers — a single JS-rendered or stealth request can cost 5-75 credits. With Scraper8, every request costs exactly 1 credit regardless of complexity. Plus, you can self-host the open source core for unlimited use.

Can I self-host Scraper8?

Yes. The scraping engine is open source (Python, pip install scraper8). You can run it locally or on your own server with Docker. The managed API adds authentication, rate limiting, and usage tracking on top.

What websites can Scraper8 scrape?

Scraper8 works on virtually any website including Amazon, Cloudflare-protected sites, Nike, Airbnb, Glassdoor, and more. It handles JavaScript-heavy SPAs, bot detection, and CAPTCHAs automatically.

Is web scraping legal?

Web scraping publicly available data is generally legal. However, you should always respect websites' terms of service, robots.txt directives, and applicable laws like GDPR. Scraper8 is a tool — how you use it is your responsibility.
