Crawlbase
/crawlbase
Crawlbase (formerly ProxyCrawl) is an all-in-one platform for scraping and large-scale crawling, with a smart proxy layer that handles rotation, rendering and anti-bot defenses behind the scenes. Alongside its scraping API it offers ready-made extractors for popular sites, clean markdown output, and a managed crawl queue that takes on the heavy lifting of broad, asynchronous data collection. Its pay-for-success model — you’re billed only for results actually delivered — makes it an economical workhorse for production data pipelines.
Choose if
You want a managed crawl queue and pay-for-success by domain complexity.
Avoid if
You want predictable behavior — two distinct tokens (Normal vs JS) and a polymorphic body field.
