What is Scrapestack?

Scrapestack is a REST web scraping and proxy API operated by APILayer, the same company behind ipstack, currencylayer, weatherstack, and Zenscrape. It converts web pages into HTML or structured data through a simple GET request, handling JavaScript rendering, IP rotation, CAPTCHAs, and geo-targeting across a pool of more than 35 million datacenter and residential IPs spanning over 100 locations. It works with any HTTP-capable language and integrates with no-code tools such as Zapier, Make, and n8n.

Our verdict

Scrapestack suits teams that want a straightforward scraping API backed by an established multi-product API vendor rather than a scraping-focused startup. Its reported 2,000+ paying customers and 1 billion-plus monthly request capacity point to real production usage, though its own public track record is thinner: coverage is limited to third-party blog reviews and listings, with no major-outlet coverage or funding disclosure to draw on.

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.
