ScrapeNinja

About ScrapeNinja

ScrapeNinja is a web scraping API that turns websites into structured data. It handles headless browser execution, proxy rotation, timeouts, and retries, with output delivered as JSON. Users can choose between raw network requests for speed or full JS evaluation via a real Chrome browser engine for pages requiring JavaScript rendering, and can switch between these two modes on the fly.

The service emulates Chrome TLS fingerprints to avoid detection by anti-scraping protection and applies smart retries based on timeouts, response codes, and page text. It includes rotating datacenter proxies across six locations (US, EU, Germany, France, Brazil, and a Europe+USA mix pool), available even on the free plan, plus access to premium and residential proxies with sticky IP addresses for larger projects. Additional tools include a cURL-to-code converter (Python, PHP, JS), a browser-based playground for live requests, a Cheerio query editor for HTML data extraction, and machine-readable API documentation (OpenAPI and Markdown) intended for LLM integration.

ScrapeNinja is aimed at developers and teams needing scraping at scale, with stated use cases including competitive intelligence research, competitor pricing analysis, social media analytics, and ecommerce product/price/review tracking. It reports serving over 27,000 users and handling more than 10 million requests daily. Integrations listed include a RapidAPI listing, a PHP SDK, and a Make.com (Integromat) module.
