Web data, fetched the way a person would have fetched it.
AiContent Scraper is a premium web-scraping service for teams who can't afford to babysit a credit pool. You hand us a URL. We try a stealth datacenter request first; if the page comes back blocked or thin, we automatically escalate to residential egress and try again. You get the rendered HTML, the extracted text, the status, and the timing — without having to manage the fallback yourself.
Why it exists
A scraping service that talks back, and a stack that escalates itself.
Most scraping APIs are a credit pool with a status page. If a site starts blocking you, you open a ticket and someone replies in 48 hours. We're building the opposite: a small bench of clients, a direct channel, and a stack that automatically tries harder when a page comes back blocked or thin. You hand us a URL. We handle the rest. When something on a target changes, we change with it.
Quiet on the wire
Our capture stack hides the obvious automation tells. The request looks like a real visitor's browser — fingerprint, TLS, navigator surface, the lot. The residential escalation path closes the gap on the harder targets.
Adaptive capture, not fixed waits
Network-idle is a hint, not a finish line. We watch the page settle and bail early once the body has meaningful text. Same URL feels fast or slow because the page is fast or slow, not because we guessed a wait.
One endpoint, one shape
POST a URL. Get { html, text, status, title, timing }. No browser pools to manage, no proxy rotation to configure, no per-domain quirks file to ship with your code. The API is small on purpose.
Real pricing, real invoices.
$99/month base, plus metered usage on top. Premium positioning, premium attention. Bills through Stripe with a real card on file and a real invoice every month. No surprise overage, no auto-upgrade tactics.
Built next to a production AI publisher
The service was extracted from aicontent.engineering's own pipeline — a system that ingests, embeds, and republishes hundreds of pages a day for paying customers. The reliability bar is what we need to ship, not what looks good in a demo.
Automatic escalation to residential
Every request starts on a fast stealth datacenter path. If the page comes back blocked, thin, or shows a challenge, we transparently retry through a residential lane. You see the result, not the dance. Billed per attempt, never silently.
Two lines
The integration shape.
const res = await fetch('https://scraperbox.aicontent.engineering/scrape', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'X-API-Key': process.env.SCRAPER_API_KEY!, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://target.com/whatever' }),
})
const { html, text, status, title, render_ms } = await res.json()import os, requests
r = requests.post(
'https://scraperbox.aicontent.engineering/scrape',
json={'url': 'https://target.com/whatever'},
headers={'X-API-Key': os.environ['SCRAPER_API_KEY']},
timeout=90,
)
data = r.json() # {html, text, status, title, render_ms, credits_charged}Full reference, errors, batch endpoint, and SQL admin helpers in the integration guide.
Private beta
We're bringing on a small group of teams.
Beta clients get a real API key, generous initial credits, and a direct line to us. We pick teams whose use case will pressure-test something we haven't tested yet. Tell us what you'd throw at it.
