Overview

Scrapingbypass API is built as a high-performance Proxy-based Request Engine rather than a browser extension. Due to the fundamental differences in how our backend handles security bypasses, a traditional browser plugin is not available.

Why Scrapingbypass Uses an API Model

Unlike browser extensions that operate within a local client environment, the Scrapingbypass API utilizes server-side orchestration to handle complex bot protections.

• Fingerprint Consistency: Our API synchronizes TLS/JA3 impersonation and HTTP/2 fingerprints at the protocol level. Standard browser extensions are limited by the host browser's native headers and cannot achieve this level of deep-packet customization.
• WAF/Challenge Resolution: Bypassing Cloudflare and Akamai requires heavy-duty JS execution and Turnstile solving. An API model allows us to offload these tasks to our specialized infrastructure, ensuring a higher success rate than a client-side plugin could provide.
• Stateless Scaling: As a developer-focused service, the API model supports massive concurrent requests, which is not feasible in a manual browser environment.

Integration Path for Developers

Since there is no browser plugin, you should integrate the service directly into your automation stack:

1. Proxy Mode: Configure your HTTP client (e.g., Python Requests, Go, Node.js) to route traffic through our proxy gateway.
2. Request Headers: Pass required parameters like X-Cb-Sitekey or part via standard HTTP headers.
3. Automation Frameworks: If you require a browser-like experience, integrate the API with Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium by configuring the framework to use the Scrapingbypass Proxy endpoint.

Technical Note

For local debugging or testing before deployment, we recommend using Postman or cURL to verify your API configuration and header logic.
