Scrapingbypass API and Scrapingbypass Proxy are complementary services designed to handle different layers of web automation and anti-bot mitigation.
Scrapingbypass API
The Scrapingbypass API focuses on bypassing advanced website security, such as Cloudflare 5-second challenges, Turnstile, and WAF protections.
- Billing: Uses a credit-based system (credits are deducted per successful request).
- Core Function: Solves JS challenges and maintains session states.
- Proxy Requirement: * V2 API: Requires a proxy configuration to function.
- V1 API: Can be enhanced with external proxies.
- Dashboard: Manage API Account
Scrapingbypass Proxy
Scrapingbypass Proxy provides global dynamic IP addresses to mask your scraper's identity and avoid IP-based blocking.
- Billing: Based on bandwidth (traffic) consumption.
- Validity: Traffic packages have no expiration date and remain valid until fully consumed.
- IP Types: Offers both Dynamic Residential IPs and Dynamic Datacenter IPs.
- Dashboard: Manage Proxy Account
Integration and Compatibility
- Direct Integration: Scrapingbypass Proxy is natively compatible with Scrapingbypass API. It is the recommended upstream for the V2 API to ensure optimal TLS/JA3 fingerprint consistency.
- Third-Party Flexibility: * API Side: Scrapingbypass API supports integration with third-party proxy providers.
- Proxy Side: Scrapingbypass Proxies can be used independently of the API. They are compatible with third-party scrapers, crawler scripts, anti-detect browsers, and bulk account registration tools.
