Web data extraction platform combining managed proxies, browser rendering, automated extraction, and scraping services.
#5 of 5 in Proxy APIs by Overall Score
Zyte provides web-scraping infrastructure and services from the company that maintains the open-source Scrapy framework. Its products handle proxy management, browser rendering, automated extraction, ban avoidance, and request orchestration, while Zyte API offers a unified interface for retrieving pages and structured data; customers can also use managed data services when they do not want to build crawlers internally.
Zyte API lets a request specify browser-rendered HTML, an ordinary HTTP response, or automatic extraction for supported content types such as products and articles. The request fields determine which retrieval path is used, and automatic extraction can draw from a browser or HTTP source. This explicit split helps developers control browser overhead without maintaining individual site-specific parsers for every target.
