Zyte API FAQs

What is a Web Scraping API?

A Web Scraping API is an all-in-one tool for unblocking websites and extracting data. The API selects the leanest set of proxies for the complexity of the site and automatically manages and rotates them so you don't have to. Once your crawlers have accessed the target site, Zyte API will extract the data in the designated format and schema configuration.

How does Zyte API pricing work?

We know your projects are unique, we don’t force you into a “package”. Instead, we price Zyte API around you. In short, Zyte API pricing is based on usage, so you only pay for what you use. Sign up and use our cost calculator to estimate your project costs.

How does Zyte’s automated proxy rotation work?

Zyte’s automated proxy rotation selects the leanest set of proxies and techniques to ensure seamless and cost-effective crawling. It dynamically adjusts based on success rates, site behavior, and performance to maintain a healthy and efficient crawl.

What are the benefits of Zyte’s built-in headless browser and rendering?

Managing a fleet of browsers and proxies can be complex and resource-intensive. Zyte API's built-in headless browser and rendering capabilities eliminate this burden, handling JavaScript-heavy pages effortlessly without additional infrastructure management.

How does Zyte API handle residential proxies?

Zyte API uses ethically sourced residential proxies to access geo-restricted and complex sites only when necessary. This ensures compliance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness while preventing unnecessary reliance on high-cost proxy networks.

What's the difference between Web Scraping APIs and Proxy APIs?

A Proxy API routes requests through different IP addresses to avoid detection and manage geo-restrictions. It is useful for simple scenarios, but is very manual to manage. Furthermore, Proxy APIs don't extract data natively, so you need a separate tool for the other parts of the data extraction process. Web Scraping APIs automate unblocking, but also include the ability to extract data from within the same platform.

How does Zyte API reduce maintenance and adapt to website changes?

Zyte’s AI-driven approach minimizes maintenance by dynamically adjusting to website updates. Instead of manually updating scrapers, Zyte’s models recognize and adapt to layout and structure changes, reducing downtime and engineering effort.

Does Zyte API prevent IP bans and CAPTCHAs?

Yes. Zyte API has built-in unblocking mechanisms that dynamically adjust request patterns, proxies, and fingerprinting techniques to prevent bans and ensure uninterrupted data collection.

Can I customize my web scraping setup with Zyte API?

Absolutely. Zyte API allows full customization, enabling users to set custom parsing rules, override ML-driven decisions, and tailor crawl strategies to their specific data needs.

How does Zyte ensure legal and ethical compliance?

Zyte is a global leader in ethical web data collection and follows strict compliance guidelines, including legally compliant schemas, KYC (Know Your Customer) checks, and structured data formats that adhere to legal standards. Our legal team is made up of the leading minds helping shape web scraping compliance strategies.

Does Zyte restrict access to certain websites?

Yes. Zyte respects website terms and applies automatic login restrictions to sites that explicitly prohibit scraping. This ensures responsible data collection practices.
