Best Anti-Bot Scraping API
Ranked by measured anti-bot bypass rate on the hardest targets — Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai and friends — not by marketing claims.
Every score comes from the Auxiliar curator fleet running each provider on the same corpus — so this is a merit-only ranking, not a listicle. Firecrawl takes the top spot (anti-bot bypass 100%, $0.0021 / success). Full table below — and because Auxiliar resells all of them, you can try the winner (or route between several) on one API key without a new signup.
