Zyte API review

Zyte API is a strong choice for developers who already know Scrapy, which Zyte maintains. You send a request and Zyte picks proxies, rotates residential, datacenter or mobile IPs, renders JavaScript when needed and can return AI-extracted data for products, articles, job listings or a custom schema. Pricing is set per website in five tiers from Simple to Advanced, and the pricing page has a calculator that shows the tier for any URL. Pay as you go HTTP requests cost $0.13 to $1.27 per 1,000, browser-rendered requests $1.01 to $16.08, and monthly commitments from $100 lower those rates, down to $0.06 per 1,000 at $500. New accounts get $5 of free credit and 30 days to try it. Zyte also publishes an independent Proxyway test it says shows higher success rates than rivals. The trade-off is predictability, since a hard site can cost many times a simple one.
