Some months ago, I was building the bookmark manager for fika.bar—which I launched here in Product Hunt. I needed a way to fetch metadata, screenshots, and markdown content of websites. "Easy", I thought. But weeks later, I was building data pipelines, proxy rotation schemes and TLS fingerprinting. Not fun. And not what I wanted to spend my time on: My product was a bookmark manager, not a data extraction service, and yet, most of my efforts ended up there! It turns out that the Internet has become a difficult place to extract information from. Most websites have implemented measures against it, which makes building products like fika.bar more difficult and expensive than it should be. Handinger is my attempt to fix this. I extracted the work I'd done for fika.bar and built it into a general purpose data extraction API. My hope is that Handinger makes it easier and cheaper for people to build products that need data from the internet.

This could be super helpful! A question: how about scraping data from pages that requires logins? For example: scraping posts from LinkedIn or scraping posts from private facebook groups that only members are allowed to see?

Hi Pao, Congratulations on launch! How are you able to work with different websites? Sites have different structures and it seems difficult to process each structure automatically?

@aw4 Hi Amelia! I use a mix of heuristics that work for most websites. Luckily a lot of people have already figured this out and there is a lot of open source libraries I can use for that :)

I love it, that's an instant subscription for me. However, how can one tune the size of the screenshot ? At the moment, it only screenshot 1/4 of the page from the top. Thanks !

@paoramen -- My apologies. I am using a proxy, which could be the reason. I am getting an "object not found" error on Firefox. I tried accessing the image URL remotely from a different network, and it loaded successfully.

This looks awesome, I've come up with multiple ideas that require scraping and the effort is a always a little too much out of reach. I'll be checking it out soon.

Most Informative

Handinger solves a real developer problem - web scraping infrastructure is tedious to build and maintain, and most teams shouldn't have to. By wrapping proxy rotation, TLS handling, and anti-bot measures into a clean API, it lets developers focus on what the data is for rather than how to get it.

The approach works well for product teams running competitive research, price monitoring, or content aggregation at scale. The API handles the messy edge cases that typically eat up engineering time - rotating proxies, fingerprint spoofing, and adapting to site structure changes.

Most useful for product builders and data teams who need reliable access to web content at volume and don't want to maintain fragile custom scraping infrastructure.
