Web data platform
Turn any websiteinto structured data.
Fetch, render, extract and monitor any page through one API. ScrapeNest owns the browsers, the egress and the retries; you get clean JSON, artifacts and a webhook the moment a page changes.
Free to start. No credit card required.

What teams build with ScrapeNest
The same API and engines behind price tracking, competitive research, lead lists and AI training sets. Start from the outcome, not the plumbing.
Three moving parts, none of them yours
You describe the work. We own the ugly middle. The result lands somewhere you can reach it.
Submit
POST a job with a target URL, the engine you want, and optional extraction rules. One key, one endpoint, scoped to your organization.
We execute
We pick a clean egress IP, render JavaScript when the page needs it, retry transient failures with backoff, and quarantine the ones that don't recover. Durable orchestration means a job always reaches a definite end - it never silently disappears.
You collect
Pull the artifact bundle - rendered HTML, parsed JSON, screenshots, HAR, run metadata - or get a signed webhook the moment it's ready. Artifacts live in object storage on your retention policy.
Pick the engine that fits the target
Same API, three execution profiles. Start cheap and fast; reach for the heavy machinery only when a site forces you to.
Light
HTTP (TLS impersonation)
As fast as curl, dressed like a browser
Pure HTTP that mimics the TLS fingerprints and headers of real browsers. No browser, no render cost - the cheapest, fastest way to pull JSON APIs and server-rendered HTML at volume.

Standard
Playwright + Chromium
Render the page, drive it like a user
Headless Chromium that runs the page's JavaScript, then clicks, scrolls, paginates, fills forms and captures screenshots or HAR. The workhorse for SPAs and multi-step flows behind a login.

Stealth
Fingerprint-hardened browser
For the targets that fight back
Fingerprint-hardened browser automation for sites with serious bot defenses (Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome). Reach for it when Standard gets blocked - not before, because it's the priciest path.

Structured output & forensics
Every job returns a bundle, not just a blob.
Each run is captured end to end: the extracted JSON, a rendered snapshot, the response headers and a full request trace, sealed with a signed manifest. When a result looks off, you replay the job and see exactly what the browser saw - no guesswork, no blind re-scrape.
- Clean JSON plus HTML, screenshot and HAR in one artifact bundle
- Status, timing, response headers and a rendered snapshot per run
- Immutable audit trail and a signed manifest for every job

Monitoring & change detection
Watch a page. Know the moment it changes.
Put any scrape on a schedule and ScrapeNest fingerprints the result each run. When the part you care about changes, you get a signed webhook and a before/after diff - not another full dataset to compare by hand.
- Cron-scheduled monitors with a complete run history
- Change detection on a selector, page text, JSON or extracted fields
- Signed webhook and email the moment a change clears your threshold

}What you don't have to build
The parts of a scraping platform that look trivial in a demo and eat a quarter in production.
A flaky target won't wake you up
Transient failures heal themselves - idempotent dispatch, exponential backoff and a dead-letter queue for the genuinely broken. No 2 a.m. page for a site that was down for a minute.
Reach the pages behind JavaScript
Click, scroll, wait for selectors and fill forms like a real user. Fingerprint-hardened stealth for the targets that fight back, plain Chromium when they don't.
Get JSON, not a second pipeline
Ship CSS/XPath/JSONPath rules with the job and the structured data comes back with the result - or take the readability-cleaned article. Nothing extra to run.
Stop polling for results
Completed jobs come to you: signed payloads, replay protection, automatic retries and delivery tracking. Wire the webhook once and move on.
Never guess why a job behaved that way
Every run is traceable end to end - per-job metrics, structured logs and a request ID you can follow from API call to stored artifact.
An API your team can adopt in an afternoon
OpenAPI spec, typed SDKs and a console playground for the debug loop. Predictable errors and no surprises in the contract.
