Hi, Product Hunt! 👋 I’m the creator of ScrapingDuck. As a developer, I was fed up with the constant battle of web scraping. I’d build the perfect scraper, only for it to break two days later due to a Cloudflare challenge or an IP ban. Existing APIs could solve this, but they were either too expensive or required complex setups. So we built ScrapingDuck to strike the perfect balance: powerful enough for enterprise-scale use, yet affordable for indie hackers and start-ups. What you get: Headless browsers: We manage the Chrome instances, so you don't have to worry about memory leaks. Premium proxies: Automatic rotation through millions of residential IPs. JavaScript rendering: Toggle it on with a single flag. The best part? Our prices are significantly lower than those of the major players (plans start at $29 per month), and we offer a generous free tier to help you get started. I’d love to hear your feedback! What's the most challenging website you've tried to scrape recently? Let me know and I’ll help you troubleshoot it. 🦆

Update: Simplified Endpoints for RAG & LLM Pipelines 🦆

We’ve streamlined ScrapingDuck to solve the biggest friction point in data ingestion: maintaining headless infrastructure just to get clean text.

We have introduced three focused endpoints to adhere to the KISS principle:

/source: Direct raw HTML (for standard scraping).
/result: Full metadata + content (for auditing).
/article: (New) Extracts main content and strips the noise (nav, ads, footers) -> Perfect for your LLM pipeline.

The /article endpoint is specifically designed to reduce token usage and noise for RAG applications. You no longer need to parse the DOM manually; we handle the JS rendering and extraction server-side.

Example Usage (Python):

import requests

# concise configuration
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
TARGET_URL = "https://example.com/blog-post"

# Use the 'article' endpoint to get cleaner data for LLMs
response = requests.get(
    "https://api.scrapingduck.com/v1/...",
    params={
        "api_key": API_KEY,
        "url": TARGET_URL
    }
)

# Robust error handling is recommended for production
if response.status_code == 200:
    data = response.json()
    # 'content' contains the parsed article text, ready for embedding
    print(f"Extracted Article: {data.get('content')[:100]}...")
else:
    print(f"Error scraping: {response.text}")
