Best Web Scraping API for AI Agents
Ten scraping APIs, one corpus. We scored each on anti-bot bypass, markdown quality, latency and cost per successful page — then made all of them callable on one key.
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.
The ranking
Ranked by composite score. Each row links to the provider's full scorecard.
One key. Every provider on this page.
Stop juggling signups and invoices. One Auxiliar API key calls all of them — upstream keys injected server-side, usage billed to a single balance. Swap the base URL and go.
