Part 01 · Overview

Welcome

What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first

2.0

GPA, above 1 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs we grade

Scraping Robot is a web scraping API that handles proxies, browsers and JavaScript rendering and returns pages, or parsed data such as Google search results, as JSON. It is sold by the scrape from credits bought up front that never expire, with no monthly subscription, and the company also builds custom scraping modules to order.

To get you started, here are 8 things to know about Scraping Robot, taken from its own pages and our grades.

Judged on how fast a developer gets a first result: one endpoint, a module name and endpoints to check credit use.
From our grade for ease of use
  1. 1

    Best for occasional scraping jobs with no monthly plan

    Scraping Robot handles proxies, browsers and rendering and returns pages, or parsed data such as Google results, as JSON, sold per scrape from credits that never expire.

  2. 2

    You can try it first

    5,000 free scrapes on sign-up

  3. 3

    It runs on Web

    Web.

  4. 4

    HTML API

    Send a page address and a module name to one endpoint and get the page back, with JavaScript rendering available.

  5. 5

    Proxies and browsers handled

    Proxy management and rotation, browser scaling and changes in sites' anti-scraping measures are handled by Scraping Robot.

  6. 6

    Parsed JSON output

    Results come back as structured JSON; the homepage example shows a Google search parsed into results, related queries and result counts.

  7. 7

    A 2.0 GPA, above 1 of 38

    That is against the other SERP and SEO data APIs we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.

  8. 8

    Keep it

    To replace Scraping Robot you would be making search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card

Best for occasional scraping jobs with no monthly plan

Scraping Robot handles proxies, browsers and rendering and returns pages, or parsed data such as Google results, as JSON, sold per scrape from credits that never expire. Its own pages give per-scrape prices that don't agree, and webhooks, screenshots, POST requests and sessions are still listed as coming soon.

ToolGPA report cardScraping RobotGraded Oct 24, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyCNo plan prices are on record. The homepage says $0.0018 a scrape, $1.80 per 1,000, up to 500,000 scrapes and as low as $0.00045 beyond, while the pricing page says as low as $0.00004, and the two couldn't be reconciled. Credits never expire.
Free plan and trialCNo free plan: 5,000 free scrapes on sign-up, a one-off allowance. Failed results and timeouts aren't charged.
FeaturesCOne HTML API with JavaScript rendering, handled proxies, parsed JSON output and custom modules built to order. The gaps are in the listing: webhooks, screenshots, POST requests and sessions are coming soon, and no search engine is named beyond a Google example.
Ease of useCJudged on how fast a developer gets a first result: one endpoint, a module name and endpoints to check credit use. No rating on record, and a soft limit of 100 requests a minute applies unless support raises it.
Platforms and integrationsCWeb only, with a REST API. Output to Zapier or Google Sheets is listed as coming soon, and no integrations or SDKs are named. No desktop or phone app.
Grade point averageFair, out of 4.02.0

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who Scraping Robot is for

  • Fits if you scrape now and then and don't want a monthly subscription
  • Works for projects that need a scraping module built to order

Who it is not for

  • Watch out: the homepage and the pricing page give per-scrape prices that don't match, from $0.0018 down to $0.00004
  • Skip it if you need webhooks, screenshots, POST requests or sessions, which are still coming soon
  • Skip it if you want results sent to Zapier or Google Sheets, as that's not available yet
  • Tight if you send a lot at once, with a soft limit of 100 requests a minute

Good to know

  • There is no subscription: credits are bought up front and never expire, and failed results or timeouts are not charged.
  • A soft limit of 100 requests a minute per customer applies unless support raises it.
  • Webhooks, screenshots, POST requests, sessions and output to Zapier or Sheets are listed as coming soon.

Part 02 · Pricing

What it costs

From our grade for free plan and trial

We could not confirm Scraping Robot’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. scrapingrobot.com has them.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Keep it

To replace Scraping Robot you would be making search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 32 of the 38 other SERP and SEO data APIs grade higher.

What you could not

  • Search results fetched at scale from many countries without being blocked.
  • An API that other software can build on.

What this rests on. Scraping Robot’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
