After a decade of dedicated service, Smart Proxy Manager (SPM) is being retired for new customers. We’re excited to introduce our flagship Web Scraping API, Zyte API, as its worthy successor — the best and only way to access ethical and industry-leading managed proxy solutions.

Zyte API is the next iteration of Zyte’s best-in class proxy and website unblocking technology. We built it as an HTTP API. This was a conscious design decision: an API to support all your web scraping needs would not work well with the limitations of a proxy API.

In 2023, Meta sued Bright Data for scraping data from Facebook and Instagram, alleging that its scraping breached Facebook and Instagram’s terms of service and is thus a breach of contract.

The reputation of web scraping hasn’t always been the best. Unsavory actors have cast a shadow over the reputable parts of the web scraping industry at large, and it has to stop.

Proxyway, one of the most respected proxy provider research blogs, released its in-depth review of five leading proxy APIs on the market. The report, In-Depth Look into Popular Proxy APIs (Web Unblockers), showed that Zyte API is by far the best option when looking at the three major fundamentals: success rate, speed, and cost.

We held the 2022 Web Data Extraction Summit three weeks ago. I wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came, especially our guest speakers, who shared some great insights throughout the day.

We are thrilled with the success of this year’s Extract Summit that took place last week in London, UK.

Hacktoberfest is finally here and we are really excited to participate in it once again. As you must know already, we love using and contributing to open source at Zyte.

After two straight years of going virtual, our upcoming edition will provide the opportunity to meet in person again. And this year it’s going to be in London!

We are delighted to announce that Extract Summit 2022 will be returning to an in-person format after two years of being virtual. This time, it’s going to be in London!
