When using our API you leverage the power of the world's best proxies. Other web scraping services require you to pay much more to use proxies of such a quality. In Scraping Fish, this comes as the default - without additional configuration and included in price!
Other web scraping services and proxy providers use unethical measures to get their IPs. Don't reinforce bad behavior - use ethical proxies. Every IP we use is ethically sourced.
Use the power of:
A Cluster of Real Browsers
JavaScript Rendering & Execution
Rotating Proxies
The Fastest Response Times
without the complexity of running it yourself. Always the same price - no matter which features you use.
