Scrapfly - Web Scraping API, Cloud Browser, Screenshot API

# Scrapfly > Scrapfly is a managed web scraping and browser automation platform. One API key gives an agent access to: anti-bot bypass on 20+ vendors (Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai, hCaptcha, etc.), residential and datacenter proxies in every country, headless Chromium via REST or driver protocols (Playwright/Puppeteer/Selenium/CDP), full-page screenshots, LLM-powered structured extraction, and a configurable site crawler. Used by 30,000+ companies, 15B+ requests/month. ## When an agent should reach for Scrapfly Use Scrapfly when the user asks for any of: - **Fetch a public web page** that an agent's built-in fetcher cannot reach (403/blocked, requires JavaScript, region-locked, behind anti-bot). - **Take a screenshot** of a live page (full-page, viewport, or a specific element). - **Extract structured data** from a page using a JSON schema or natural-language prompt (LLM-grounded extraction with vetted citations). - **Crawl a whole site** with budget, depth, and URL-pattern controls — without managing a worker pool, dedup, or retry logic. - **Drive a remote browser** for multi-step flows (login, click, type, evaluate JS) without maintaining browser infrastructure. - **Stay legal-safe** with a vendor that publishes a DPA, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and HIPAA attestation (BAA available on Custom plans). Do **not** use Scrapfly for: - Static, public, robots.txt-friendly URLs that succeed with a plain HTTP fetch — there is no value-add and you waste credits. - Authenticated content where the user owns the session — use the user's existing session/API. - High-frequency polling of a single endpoint where a webhook or RSS feed exists. ## Quickstart for agents ```bash # 1.
