The six problems you don't have to solve.

Each is a system you would otherwise have to build, run, and maintain. The first five are included, and a page costs 0.25 to 1 credit.

JavaScript rendering

Pages are fetched without a browser first, then rendered in headless Chrome only when needed. React, Vue, and Angular applications return their rendered content, while static pages stay fast and cost less.

renderJS

CAPTCHA solving

Common CAPTCHA challenges are handled in the request path. There's no separate solver to integrate and no extra charge.

Included

Anti-bot bypass

Browser fingerprints are managed on our side to handle common anti-bot systems. Stealth mode reduces browser automation signals for stricter sites.

stealth: true

Seven output formats

Choose from Markdown, HTML, or plain text, each with an LLM variant, plus structured JSON. Request multiple formats in a single call.

format: []

Structured extraction

Extract structured fields with CSS or XPath schemas, or use ready-made product and contact templates to get typed JSON.

extractionMode

Premium, geo-targeted proxies

A page that blocks every other attempt moves to a premium proxy automatically, and you can pick any of 194 countries to see localized pricing, content, and availability. A premium proxy adds 4 credits when it's used.

“Found Geekflare API to get markdown from URL for my AI agents. It is fast and cheaper and works on almost every website.”
Ram DasiArchitect, PA Consulting
“After trying many scraping services, I selected Geekflare to scrape public directories. Mainly for two reasons - it is cheaper and fast.”
Vishu SharmaCTO
“Documentation was easy to follow. We were scraping dynamic pages within hours. Very reliable service.”
Marco SilvaAnalytics Engineer

See the page the way locals see it.

Some sites block foreign traffic, and many show different prices and content by country. Add a country code and the request goes through a proxy, so you get the local page and don't get blocked.

The parameters you'll use most.

What each one does and what it costs.

  • urlstring—

    The page to fetch. Any public URL.

  • formatstring[]Included

    markdown, markdown-llm, html, html-llm, text, text-llm or json. Ask for several at once.

  • renderJSboolean0.25 to 1

    Rendering is automatic, and a page that doesn't need it costs less. Set true or false to force headless Chrome on or off.

  • stealthbooleanIncluded

    Removes webdriver signals and patches navigator properties for sites with stricter bot checks.

  • waitTimenumberIncluded

    Seconds to wait after load, for lazy-loaded content.

  • devicestringIncluded

    desktop or mobile.

  • extractionModestringIncluded

    With format json: cssSchema, xpathSchema, or template with product or contact.

  • fileOutputbooleanIncluded

    Return a link to a file with the result instead of the content inline. Handy for large pages. Defaults to false.

  • proxyCountrystring+4

    Route the request through a premium proxy in this country, e.g. "de".

  • proxyModestring+4 if used

    Defaults to auto, which uses a premium proxy only if the page blocks every other attempt. Use true to always use one, or false to never use one.

  • aiPromptobject+6

    Ask AI to extract or analyze the page. Runs on the page's Markdown.

The endpoint reference has the complete parameter list, response schema and error codes.

What people use it for.

Clean Markdown straight into a vector store

Feed webpages into a retrieval pipeline without building your own extraction layer. Our LLM-ready format removes navigation, footers, cookie banners, and other page clutter, leaving the content you actually want to embed.

  • Headings are preserved for meaningful chunk boundaries
  • Navigation, footers and cookie banners removed
  • Multiple formats from a single request when you need both
Typical request
POST /webscraping
{
  "url": "https://techcrunch.com/category/artificial-intelligence/",
  "format": ["markdown-llm"]
}
What comes back

How many pages each plan scrapes.

What a page costs depends on what it needs, and every site is different. Failed requests cost nothing.

0.25 credits when a page succeeds without a browser. 1 credit when it needs JavaScript rendering, a basic proxy or stealth mode, with CAPTCHA solving and anti-bot bypass included. 5 credits when it goes through a premium proxy, which happens when a page blocks every other attempt or you pick a country. Set proxyMode to false to avoid that. An aiPrompt adds 6. Failed requests cost nothing.

$0.50 to $0.95 for pages at 1 credit on monthly plans, depending on the plan, and a quarter of that for pages that succeed without a browser. Yearly billing costs less. See pricing for each plan.

Yes. Pages that need JavaScript are rendered in headless Chrome, so React, Vue and Angular apps return the content a browser would see. Static pages are fetched without a browser, which is faster and costs less. Set renderJS to force either way.

Yes. Add proxyCountry with a country code, for example "de", to route the request through a premium proxy in that country and get localized pricing and content. Proxies cover 194 countries at country level and add 4 credits per request.

markdown-llm for LLM and RAG pipelines, json when you want typed fields, html when you have your own parser downstream, and text for search indexing or NLP. You can request more than one format in a single call.

Yes. With format: ["json"], use a CSS or XPath schema to pick fields, or set extractionMode to template with product or contact for ready-made extraction. For free-form questions about a page, aiPrompt runs AI over its Markdown.

Common CAPTCHA types are solved automatically, and fingerprints are managed to get past Cloudflare-style bot detection. For stricter sites, stealth mode removes webdriver signals at no extra cost. Some heavily protected sites may still block a request. You aren't charged when that happens, so you can test your target sites on the free plan.

Each request scrapes one URL and returns the page in the response. To collect a whole site in the background, with webhooks as pages finish, use the Crawl API.

No. You can run requests in the dashboard playground, or connect the API to Zapier, Make or n8n. AI agents can call it through our MCP server.

We've put prices and features side by side for Firecrawl, ScrapingBee, Scrapingdog and Context.dev. The comparison hub has the rest.

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal, but it depends on the site's terms of service and on privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA. It is your responsibility to target public data, respect robots.txt and avoid collecting personal information.

Web Scraping returns a page's content as Markdown, HTML, JSON or text. Meta Scraping returns only its metadata: title, description, Open Graph, Twitter cards and Schema.org JSON.
