Describe the project or task Scraper API helped with:

I used scraperapi for more than 3 months, everything was OK until the service got really bad, with less than 10% success rate. After a week of sending emails with a horrible customer support (that takes more than 24 hours to answer) they couldn't solve the problem, they told me "We are bringing on new capacity over the next 24 hours to deal with this issue. Thank you for your patience" after 2 days, things continue being the same. I am integrating another provider in order to change myself because this company has a very bad customer support and this last month a very bad service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Scraper API?

Experience for the Scraper API is likely to be an experienced web scraper developer with knowledge of various scraping technologies, including Python (BeautifulSoup and Selenium), JavaScript (Puppeteer or Cheerio), and Node.js (Demand and Cheerio). Additionally, the ideal developer will have experience with cloud infrastructure services such as AWS and Azure, and be familiar with the Scraper API platform and its features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Scraper API?

I don't like the Scraper API because it's expensive and unreliable. Also, APIs can be difficult to use and often require a lot of coding to get the desired results. In addition, the support provided by services is often lacking and can be slow or unhelpful. The fact that it's a black-box solution and provides little visibility into what's going on behind the scenes could be another drawback. Finally, the Scraper API also often requires its authentication system, which can be a pain for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Scraper API solving and how is that benefiting you?

Despite the drawbacks, there are a few scenarios where using the Scraper API could be useful to me. For example, if I need to quickly and easily access large amounts of data from multiple sources without having to write complex code, the Scraper API might be one solution. Additionally, the scalability of the service makes it ideal for high-volume scraping tasks that are difficult to achieve with manual coding. Finally, the fact that it's managed by a third party means I don't have to worry about updating my code or making sure it works with new versions of websites.
