Product overview
What is Scrape.do?
Scrape.do is an API-first web-scraping service for collecting public website data at scale. Its AI and LLM workflow targets forums, articles, reviews, research sources, knowledge graphs, and site metadata. A caller sends a URL and receives rendered content for use in local scripts or production ingestion pipelines.
The service manages residential, mobile, and datacenter proxies, browser headers, TLS fingerprints, CAPTCHA handling, geotargeting, and anti-bot systems. Raw HTML is the default output, while request parameters can return Markdown or JSON for model and data workflows.
