Frequently asked questions
A web scraping API is a service that extracts data from websites on your behalf. Instead of running your own headless browser and managing proxies, you send a URL to the API and get back the page content in your preferred format — HTML, markdown, text, or structured JSON. YepAPI's web scraping API handles JavaScript rendering, proxy rotation, and anti-bot measures automatically.
With YepAPI, scraping a website from Python is a single HTTP request. Use the requests library: send a POST to our /v1/scrape endpoint with your target URL and API key. You get back clean content — no need for BeautifulSoup, Selenium, or Playwright. Works the same way in any language that can make HTTP calls.
A screenshot API captures a visual image of any web page. Send a URL and get back a PNG or JPEG screenshot. YepAPI's screenshot API renders JavaScript, waits for dynamic content to load, and supports custom viewport sizes, full-page capture, and element-specific screenshots. Great for generating thumbnails, monitoring visual changes, or capturing receipts.
Web scraping proxies route your requests through different IP addresses to avoid getting blocked by target websites. YepAPI includes built-in proxy rotation on every scraping request — you don't need to buy or manage proxy pools separately. Requests are automatically routed through residential and datacenter proxies across multiple regions.
AI web scraping uses large language models to understand page structure and extract specific data without writing CSS selectors or XPath queries. With YepAPI's AI extraction endpoint, you describe the data you want in plain text — like 'extract the product name, price, and reviews' — and the AI returns structured JSON. No scraping rules to maintain.
YepAPI is built as a simpler, cheaper alternative to ScrapingBee. Both services handle web scraping with proxy rotation and JavaScript rendering. The difference: YepAPI uses pure pay-per-call pricing starting at $0.01/call with no monthly minimum — while ScrapingBee starts at $49/month. YepAPI also bundles SEO, SERP, AI, and YouTube APIs under the same key.
Yes. YepAPI's web scraping service is designed for automated scraping at any scale. No rate limits for normal usage, built-in retry logic, and parallel request support. Whether you're scraping 10 pages or 10,000, the API scales with you. Pay only for what you use — no capacity planning needed.
