Scrapingdog
Scrapingdog is a web scraping API that fetches pages through rotating proxies and headless browsers and returns HTML or parsed JSON, for developers and data teams pulling data from search results, marketplaces and social sites.
Updated October 2026
Overview: What is Scrapingdog?
Paid plans start at $40 a month for 200,000 credits on Lite, with a free tier to test (checked October 2026).
You send a URL and an API key and get the page back, with proxies, browser rendering and blocks handled by Scrapingdog. Beyond the general endpoint it has more than 40 dedicated APIs that return structured data: Google Search, Maps and Trends, Amazon, Walmart, LinkedIn profiles, posts and jobs, YouTube, X and TikTok. In list building it's a raw data source: a developer still has to clean, match and load what comes back.
Fit: Ideal customer profile.
Developers and data teams that write code and need public web data at volume, such as SERP results, Google Maps listings, marketplace prices or public LinkedIn pages. It isn't for a sales rep who wants verified contacts in a spreadsheet without writing a script.

Usage
How to use Scrapingdog.
Sign up, copy the API key from the dashboard and call the endpoint for the site you need from Python, Node or any HTTP library. Credits are shared across every API: a plain request costs 1 credit, JS rendering 5, a premium proxy 10, both together 25, and a Google Search call 5 to 10. Requests time out after 60 seconds, so build in retries, and going over your plan's concurrency returns a 429 error.
