Five surfaces, done properly
Most of this category sells breadth. We think the useful thing is a small number of surfaces you can actually rely on, priced so you can forecast the bill, behind a company that answers its email.
Why so few
Every platform takes constant work to keep running, and we publish a success rate for each endpoint. So we add a platform only when we’re sure we can keep it reliable. YouTube, Reddit and Facebook are next.
If you need a site we don’t cover, write to us. We’ll tell you if it’s coming, or point you to someone who covers it.
What we refuse to do
- Take your credentials. Not a login, not a cookie, not a session. Not having to point your own account at what you are researching is most of what you are paying for.
- Charge for our own failures. A call we cannot serve costs nothing, and the refund is in your ledger before you notice.
- Invent numbers. Our status page shows “—” for an endpoint’s latency and success rate until it has served enough calls to measure them honestly. It says a number when the number is real.
How we price
One published credit cost per endpoint, one balance, no plans, no discount codes. You can multiply the table by your volume before you write a line of code, and the number you get is the invoice. We are not the cheapest at very large volume and we do not pretend to be — the comparison page marks the rows where we lose.
Who is behind it
A small team. Small enough that the person who answers support@scrapefield.com is the person who can fix the thing. That is an advantage right now and we intend to keep it for as long as it stays true.
