The best alternative to ScrapingAnt
ScrapingAnt provides a web scraping API with browser and proxy support. Apify goes further with hundreds of APIs and cloud-based data extraction management.
SuperScraper API
Apify offers a versatile REST API, our SuperScraper API, that lets you extract fully rendered HTML from any URL using a headless browser. It has all the features you can expect from ScrapingAnt, and you can access it with any Apify plan, including the free one!
Get more than an API
ScrapingAnt gives access to only a multi-purpose web scraping API. For $49/month, Apify gives you access to a full-stack scraping platform and 2,000+ APIs (called Actors). These include single-purpose and multi-purpose APIs, which you can configure programmatically or with a simple UI.
Cloud infrastructure
Apify saves you time and effort by providing an all-in-one solution for your web scraping needs. You can run and host your crawlers, store your scraped data, and get notifications if something goes wrong.
Integrations and scheduling features
You can enhance your automation workflows with a wide range of integrations, such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, HuggingFace, Gmail, Airtable, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, GitHub, and more. You can schedule jobs to run automatically and integrate your workflows with your favorite web apps.
Anti-blocking features
Apify Proxy is built into Apify Actors to handle anti-blocking for you and provide dynamic IP rotation and geolocation targeting. No need to manage multiple vendors.
