Curated Scraping APIs: Ready-to-Use Data Extraction Tools
A comprehensive collection of production-ready scraping APIs that eliminate the complexity of building web scrapers from scratch.
- 2,607+ GitHub stars
- Built with JavaScript
- Curated collection of production-grade scraping APIs across multiple categories
About This Project
This repository serves as a centralized hub for developers seeking reliable scraping APIs to extract data from various web sources without wrestling with anti-bot measures, rate limits, or parsing complexities. Instead of spending weeks building and maintaining custom scrapers, developers can integrate battle-tested APIs that handle the heavy lifting.
The collection spans multiple categories including social media scraping, e-commerce data extraction, search engine results parsing, and general-purpose web scraping tools. Each API in the collection has been evaluated for reliability, documentation quality, and ease of integration into JavaScript-based projects.
What sets this resource apart is its focus on developer experience and practical implementation. Rather than just listing APIs, it provides context about pricing models, rate limits, and specific use cases where each tool excels. This saves developers countless hours of research and trial-and-error when selecting the right scraping solution.
Whether you're building a price monitoring dashboard, aggregating content for market research, or automating competitive intelligence workflows, this curated list helps you find the appropriate API quickly and start building features that matter to your users.
