ScrapingDog API
Web Scraping · Proxy Services
ScrapingDog is a web scraping API that combines proxy rotation, JavaScript rendering, and CAPTCHA solving into a single, easy-to-use endpoint eliminating the infrastructure complexity that makes web scraping difficult at scale. Designed to handle both simple HTML pages and complex JavaScript-heavy websites, ScrapingDog routes requests through rotating residential and datacenter proxies while rendering pages in headless Chromium when needed, returning clean HTML responses that developers parse with their preferred tools.
