Websites are getting harder to scrape. Web scraping protection has evolved from checking user agent and other headers, to checking the IP address of the requester, and lately — to TLS fingerprint analysis. While it's easy to start scraping in any programming language, only specialized solutions can provide a reliable way to scrape data at scale.

ScrapeNinja.net has proven its high scraping reliability through state-of-the-art real browser TLS fingerprint emulation, rigorous realtime stability monitoring of responses, and advanced technology that helps us find and rotate the best proxies.

Is ScrapeNinja.net any better than using Chrome extension XYZ?

Chrome scraping extensions can be good for getting started and doing some light scraping, but for heavy-duty work and better performance, cloud-based solutions like ScrapeNinja are the better choice.

Why not just use Puppeteer/Selenium to emulate Chrome?

When your Python or Node.js scraper fails to get data, Puppeteer or Selenium is usually the most obvious alternative. While these tools do wonders in terms of automation and flexibility, they are slow and resource-intensive. Running them at scale is very expensive in terms of hardware resources, and maintaining them requires significant effort. They are also easily detected by anti-scraping protection mechanisms. ScrapeNinja features real Chrome evaluation via /scrape-js endpoint, and this browser engine is fully conditioned and maintained to pass most anti-scraping checks.

Is ScrapeNinja.net any better than BrightData Web Unlocker?

BrightData is a major player in the scraping market, but their pricing is through the roof. It's easy to spend $2,000 or $3,000 on scraping via BrightData - ScrapeNinja offers a more affordable alternative.
