Web Scraping with Linux and Bash

Web scraping with Linux is more capable than most people expect. Bash may not be the go-to tool for web scraping, but with a handful of pre-installed command-line utilities you can build a working scraper without touching Python or a browser. This guide covers how to make HTTP requests in Linux, parse into HTML and JSON, set up proxy support with Decodo, and build a fully working Bash-based scraper from scratch.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a credit card to start using Web Scraping API?

No. Decodo offers a free plan that requires no credit card. You can test the API immediately after signing up and upgrade to a paid plan when you're ready.

How do I cancel or change my plan?

You can cancel or modify your plan anytime from your dashboard. We also offer a 14-day money-back on all paid plans. Keep in mind that the terms apply.

What is a Web Scraping API?

A Web Scraping API is an automated data extraction solution that allows real-time data collection from websites without geo-restrictions, CAPTCHAs, or IP blocks. Decodo's API handles everything from JavaScript rendering to geo-targeting to deliver structured data ready for your workflows.

Is it legal to use a Web Scraping API?

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but you should check each website's terms of service for specific conditions and restrictions. When in doubt, consult a legal expert before scraping.

How does Web Scraping API handle CAPTCHAs and IP blocks?

The API handles anti-bot measures automatically. It rotates IPs from our 125M+ pool, uses browser fingerprinting to appear as real users, and retries failed requests. You're only charged for successful responses.

How do I integrate Web Scraping API with AI workflows?

Web Scraping API integrates with automation tools like n8n, LangChain, OpenClaw, and the MCP server. With support for JSON and Markdown outputs, it's designed for AI agents and LLM pipelines.

Is Decodo’s Web Scraping API good for AI workflows?

Yes. Web Scraping API is built for AI-native development environments. The MCP server brings scraping natively into Claude and AI agents. The TypeScript SDK fits data science and ML pipelines. skills.md support means AI coding assistants like Cursor and GitHub Copilot understand the API out of the box. JSON and Markdown outputs are structured for RAG pipelines, embeddings, and agent tool use – data arrives ready to embed without the need to clean it.

What websites can I scrape with Web Scraping API?

The API works across most websites – including JavaScript-heavy sites and those with strict anti-bot measures. Some sites are restricted (e.g., banking, government, telecom) to prevent misuse. See our blocked sites list.

What output formats does Web Scraping API support?

Results are delivered in HTML, JSON, CSV, PNG, XHR, or Markdown format. Markdown is optimized for LLM consumption.

What are ready-made scraping templates?

Pre-configured scrapers for popular websites (Amazon, Google, TikTok, etc.) that let you start collecting data immediately without writing custom code. Each template is tested and optimized for reliability.

How does Web Scraping API differ from using proxies directly?

Proxies provide the IP infrastructure; Web Scraping API combines proxies with scraping logic, anti-bot management, retry handling, and structured data delivery in one solution.

How can I get help if I encounter issues?

Contact our 24/7 tech support via LiveChat, join our Discord community, or browse our Knowledge Hub for documentation and tutorials.

What's the maximum scraping volume Web Scraping API can handle?

No limit. Whether you scrape thousands or millions of pages daily, our infrastructure auto-scales with your demands. Unlimited concurrent sessions and task scheduling are included.

How do I choose the best web scraping tool for my needs?

Consider: data goals (what and what format), anti-detection features (proxy pool size), scalability (rate limits), success-rate guarantees, integrations (programming languages, AI tools), and compliance (ethical proxy sourcing, GDPR/CCPA). Decodo checks all these boxes – start with our free plan to test.

Is Web Scraping API compatible with Puppeteer, Playwright, and Selenium?

Yes. The API works with popular libraries including Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium, Crawlee, Beautiful Soup, Cheerio, and Scrapy.
