Web scraping should be simple, affordable, and just work. That's what we built.
Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, PerimeterX — Scraper8 detects and handles them all automatically. No manual config needed.
Starts with fast HTTP. If a site needs more, it auto-escalates to a stealth browser — you don't have to think about it.
One POST request. Get back parsed HTML, metadata, links, images, and structured data — or raw HTML if you prefer.
Every request costs exactly 1 credit — whether it's a simple page or a JavaScript-heavy site behind a CAPTCHA.
The scraping engine is fully open source. Self-host it for unlimited use, or use our managed API — your choice.
Domain intelligence remembers what works per site. Subsequent scrapes are faster and smarter — no manual tuning.

Deep dives into specific use cases and comparisons.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
