Zyte
Web scraping API and managed data delivery that handles bans, rendering and extraction for you.
About Zyte
Zyte is a web data collection company that sells both a developer API and a managed data service. Zyte API is a single endpoint that takes a URL, picks the leanest access strategy that works (plain HTTP, datacenter or residential proxies, or a headless browser), and escalates only when a site demands it. You are billed per successful response, with five website-difficulty tiers that start at $0.06 per 1,000 responses at the highest monthly commitment.
The platform also covers the rest of the scraping stack. Scrapy Cloud hosts and schedules crawlers built on Scrapy, the open-source framework Zyte maintains. AI extraction turns raw HTML into typed JSON for products, articles and job listings. Browser actions, sessions, geolocation and CAPTCHA handling are included on every plan. For teams that do not want to run scrapers at all, Zyte Data is a managed service where Zyte builds, runs and maintains the collection and delivers schema-ready data to your warehouse.
Zyte also ships an MCP server so AI agents and MCP clients can call its scraping tools. Compliance guardrails are built in: personally identifiable data is excluded from automatic extraction, sites that prohibit scraping get automatic login restrictions, and residential IP access requires KYC verification. Zyte is a good fit for engineering teams that need reliable, high-volume extraction from difficult websites, and for companies that would rather buy finished datasets than maintain crawlers.
