What is Scrapeless?

Scrapeless is a cloud-based web data extraction platform run by NST Labs, headquartered in Singapore. The lineup includes a Scraping Browser (anti-detect cloud browser infrastructure with high concurrency), a Universal Scraping API with JS rendering and IP rotation, a proxy network that covers residential, ISP, datacenter, and IPv6 IPs across 195+ countries, and a Crawl tool with built-in CAPTCHA solving. Pricing is pay-as-you-go and charges only for successful requests; a free trial needs no credit card.

Our verdict

Bundling a browser, scraping API, proxy network, and crawler under one account suits teams that want a single vendor for varied extraction needs, and pay-per-success billing limits waste on failed requests. No funding round or independent coverage is public, so teams weighing reliability at scale will need to test the service directly instead of leaning on a track record.

Web Scraping APIs

Web scraping APIs take a URL and return the page, hiding the parts that break at scale: proxy rotation, headless browsers, CAPTCHA handling, and retries. Teams reach for them when maintaining their own scraping infrastructure stops being worth the engineering time.
