Zyte

Zyte is an Irish web scraping company founded in 2007 (formerly known as ScrapingHub until 2021) with over 200 employees worldwide. The company offers a sophisticated web scraping API that wraps website unblocking, data parsing, and browser management into one all-encompassing tool. Zyte API is the company's main product, primarily targeting developers but also supporting a no-code interface for e-commerce websites. The API integrates as an HTTP endpoint where you POST the API key, URLs to scrape, and optional parameters like JavaScript rendering or custom headers. Zyte offers AI parsing capabilities for structured data extraction from product pages, news articles, and job postings. The provider uses dynamic pricing that calculates request prices based on website difficulty, residential proxy usage, headless browsers, data extraction, and compute time. Zyte provides comprehensive documentation, an API playground for code generation, and integration methods including a Python library and Scrapy plugin. The company maintains popular open source tools like the Scrapy framework and runs the annual Extract Summit conference. Zyte offers 500 requests per minute with 60 seconds of execution time per request, supporting custom headers, cookies, device types, and sessions. The provider gives $5 of free credit to all customers and supports self-service with monthly billing.
