ScrapingDog

API

Proxy API for seamless web scraping without blocks

Overview

ScrapingDog is a proxy API built to simplify web scraping by handling anti-scraping barriers like IP blocks and CAPTCHAs. Key endpoints support GET requests with parameters for target URL, proxy type (residential/rotating), JS rendering, and CAPTCHA solving. Responses are JSON-formatted, returning scraped HTML content or error logs. Use cases include extracting data from e-commerce platforms, blogs, and dynamic JS-rendered sites (SPAs). It integrates with Python, Node.js, and other languages, offering rotating proxies to avoid detection—ideal for scalable, uninterrupted scraping without manual proxy management.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://www.scrapingdog.com/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
