How does Web Scraping API work?
Our Web Scraping API runs on the scrape endpoint of Web Data API. It routes each request through a 125M+ IP pool with real browser fingerprints, renders JavaScript when needed, and retries failed requests automatically. You get results in HTML, JSON, CSV, Markdown, XHR, or PNG, in real time or through a callback, and only pay for successful requests.

What is an API?
An application programming interface (API) works like a messenger. It allows different software systems to communicate without developers having to build custom links for every connection. For instance, one service might supply map data to a mobile app, while another handles payment processing for online transactions. In these times, that demands seamless integration, and APIs play a vital role. They automate tasks, enable large-scale data collection, and support sophisticated functions like web scraping and proxy management. By bridging diverse platforms and streamlining data exchange, they help businesses stay competitive and reduce the complexity of managing multiple, often inconsistent endpoints.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to change my existing integration?
No. If you already use Web Scraping API, your current setup keeps working without changes. New accounts use the new scrape endpoint with API key authentication – see the documentation for setup details.
What is a web scraping API?
A web scraping API is a service that fetches web pages for you and returns their content as structured data. You send a URL, and the API takes care of proxies, CAPTCHAs, JavaScript rendering, and retries. Decodo's Web Scraping API does all of this in 1 request and delivers HTML, JSON, CSV, Markdown, XHR, or PNG, ready for your workflows.
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.
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.
Is there a free API for web scraping?
Yes, Decodo's Web Scraping API includes a free plan with no credit card required, so you can run real requests before paying anything. After testing our data collection solution, you can grab a subscription with the request count that best suits your needs. If you decide to grab a subscription without a free trial, you’re also getting a 14-day money-back (terms apply).
Can ChatGPT scrape a website?
Not by itself – ChatGPT and other LLMs can't fetch and render live websites reliably or at scale. They need a scraping backend: Decodo's MCP Server brings live web data into AI tools directly, the ChatGPT Scraper API collects ChatGPT search results, and Markdown output keeps everything LLM-ready. For the fuller picture, see how ChatGPT handles web scraping.
