ProxyCrawl

About ProxyCrawl

Crawlbase (formerly ProxyCrawl) provides web data infrastructure aimed at developers and enterprises that need to extract data from websites at scale. Its core product, the Crawling API, accepts a URL and returns clean HTML or structured JSON data, handling JavaScript rendering and anti-bot measures automatically; an optional scraper parameter extracts typed fields instead of raw markup. Requests are processed through a pipeline that receives the URL, routes it through an appropriate proxy and region, renders the page with a real browser if needed, extracts and stores the data, and delivers results either directly in the response or via callback.

Beyond the core API, the platform offers an Enterprise Crawler for asynchronous crawling of large URL batches with results delivered through callbacks, a Smart AI Proxy providing rotating residential and datacenter IP access across 30 geographies through a single endpoint, Cloud Storage for retaining and re-fetching previously crawled pages without re-crawling the source, and a Web MCP Server that exposes live web data to AI agents. Official client libraries are available for Python, Node, Ruby, PHP, and Go.

The service includes managed scrapers for specific sites such as Amazon, Walmart, LinkedIn, Google, and others across categories like eCommerce, generative AI data sources, and real estate. It offers a free tier of up to 20,000 requests without a credit card requirement, and is positioned as an alternative to tools such as ScraperAPI, Oxylabs, Apify, ScrapingBee, Octoparse, and Zyte.
