The best alternative to ScrapingBee
ScrapingBee provides a user-friendly API for large-scale web scraping, but there's no integrated solution for managing data extraction flows in the cloud. That's why you need Apify.
Apify is a master of scraping APIs. Apify is easy to understand, easy to use and integrates well with my cloud solution.
Apify is my go-to for all scraping. It offers an awesome platform with fantastic scraping tools and useful integrations. The customer support is top-notch, providing valuable advice and quick fixes.
The developer's swiss army knife. What I absolutely love about Apify is the community and ecosystem around it. Apify Store is a treasure trove of pre-built Actors that save you a ton of time. It's like having a team of experts contributing to your project.
Get more than an API for the same cost
For $49/month, ScrapingBee gives you access to an API. Apify gives you access to hundreds of APIs (called Actors), access to a pool of proxies, and the ability to build and run your scrapers in the cloud.
Cloud infrastructure
Apify saves you time and effort by providing an all-in-one solution for your web scraping needs. You won't need to search and pay for different services to host your data extraction workflows.
Anti-blocking features
ScrapingBee offers proxies to help you avoid blocking. Apify takes proxies to another level by offering intelligent proxy rotation to keep your scrapers performant and as cheap as possible.
Integrations and scheduling features
ScrapingBee offers a Make integration. With Apify, you can schedule jobs to run automatically and integrate your workflows with Gmail, Airtable, Make, Zapier, Google Drive, GitHub, Keboola, and more.
Export data to multiple formats
ScrapingBee doesn鈥檛 provide an out-of-the-box solution for exporting your data in multiple formats. Apify lets you export data to CSV, HTML, JSON, XML, or RSS Feed with the click of a button.
Apify loves open source
Apify is the developer and maintainer of Crawlee, an open-source web scraping library for Node.js. It lets you build scrapers with the libraries you love and avoid detection with human-like fingerprints.
