About
ScraperAPI is a web scraping API that fetches public web pages while handling proxies, browser rendering, CAPTCHA challenges, and IP rotation on the caller’s behalf. It exposes a simple API interface for collecting data from websites at scale, with structured data endpoints for selected domains and SDK/documentation support for cURL, Python, NodeJS, PHP, Ruby, Java, and DataPipeline.
The pricing page lists a 7-day trial with 5,000 API credits and no credit card required, plus a separate free plan mentioned in the FAQ with 1,000 free API credits and a maximum of 5 concurrent connections. Paid plans start at 100,000 API credits per month and scale up to 5,000,000+ credits with country-level geotargeting, JS rendering, structured data APIs, and higher concurrency.

Free Tier Value
The page explicitly states both a 7-day trial with 5,000 API credits and a free account with 1,000 free API credits, plus a maximum of 5 concurrent connections on the free account. Because this is a free_credit listing, the conservative FTV is computed as 1,000 / 3 = $0.33/month per the rule. No credit card is required for the trial, so no_cc_required is true.
What's included in the free tier
- 7-day trial with 5,000 API credits.
- 1,000 free API credits for a free account.
- Maximum of 5 concurrent connections on the free account.
