ProxyCrawl
APIScraping & Crawling API with Anti-Captcha Support
Overview
ProxyCrawl provides RESTful endpoints for static/dynamic web scraping, anti-captcha (reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha) solving, and bypassing anti-bot protections like Cloudflare or Akamai. Responses are JSON-formatted, delivering structured data (HTML content, extracted fields, captcha solutions). Ideal use cases include e-commerce price monitoring, market research data extraction, dynamic content scraping (JavaScript-rendered pages), and automated access to blocked web resources without manual intervention.
Example Integration (JavaScript)

.catch(err => console.error(err)); Key Features
