WEB SCRAPING API
Send a URL, get clean structured data back, connect via REST, MCP, or your existing no-code stack. Built for agents, pipelines, and automated workflows, not just one-off scrapes.
curl -X POST https://scrapebadger.com/v1/web/scrape \ -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"url": "https://example.com", "format": "markdown", "render_js": true}'
TEAMS BUILDING ON SCRAPEBADGER
Three steps between your request and clean, structured data, ready for any agent, pipeline, or workflow.
POST a URL with your x-api-key. Optionally set output format, JS rendering, or a target country.
Rotating residential proxies, anti-bot bypass (Cloudflare, Imperva, DataDome, Kasada, PerimeterX), and real browser rendering.
HTML, Markdown, plain text, or a screenshot from any URL, plus structured JSON from dedicated endpoints.
Everything this web scraper API includes on every request, out of the box.
Purpose-built endpoints for Twitter/X, Google, and Reddit, structured responses, not just raw HTML to parse yourself.
Cloudflare, Imperva, Akamai, DataDome, Kasada, and PerimeterX handled automatically.
Rotating IPs across real residential networks, no shared, blocklisted ranges.
Full headless-browser rendering for JS-heavy and dynamic sites.
Connect to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible agent using your existing credits, no extra setup.
Scrape as if you're browsing from a specific country or city.
Connect to your AI agents through MCP, or automate scraping jobs with the tools you already use, no custom integration code needed.

What ScrapeBadger users say.
"ScrapeBadger completely removed that overhead. The endpoints return clean, structured JSON, the MCP integration fits naturally into agentic setups, and the reliability has been rock solid."
"I've been using ScrapeBadger primarily to scrape Reddit data, and it has been an excellent solution. It's one of the most affordable scraping tools on the market while still delivering reliable performance."
"The advanced_search API was pretty straightforward to work with. The documentation is clear, the cursor-based pagination is predictable, and I like that the credit system is easy to understand."
"Amazing service, tried out the twitter API and its reliable and very low latency. Looking forward to test out their other API's as well!"
Web scraping is the automated collection of publicly available data from websites. A web scraper API handles the underlying infrastructure, proxies, browser rendering, and anti-bot bypass, so you get clean data back from a single request instead of building and maintaining that infrastructure yourself.
Scraping publicly available data is generally permitted, but legality depends on what you scrape, how you use it, and the target site's terms of service. Avoid scraping personal or copyrighted data without a lawful basis, and consult a legal advisor for anything beyond casual use.
There's no single "best" AI model for scraping, that depends on what you're doing with the data once you have it. What matters more upstream is whether you can actually get the page: proxy handling, anti-bot bypass, and JavaScript rendering determine that. This API connects via MCP so whichever AI agent or model you're using, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or your own pipeline, can pull clean data from it directly.
