The maintained advantage

Why a maintained API beats a DIY scraper

A scraper you build is only correct until the next site redesign, anti-bot update or IP ban. A maintained API absorbs those changes for you, so the same call keeps returning clean JSON.

It does not break on redesigns

When a site changes its markup, the engine is updated centrally — your integration keeps working without a parser rewrite.

Proxies & anti-bot stay solved

Rotation, residential IPs, fingerprinting and captcha handling are maintained server-side, not in your codebase.

Proven fresh, not stale

Each API page publishes a live captured snapshot with its timestamp, so you can see the engine returning real current data.

FAQ

Web scraping API questions

What is a web scraping API?

A web scraping API returns the data you would otherwise extract with a scraper — but as clean JSON over a single HTTP call. ReefAPI runs the scraping, proxy rotation and anti-bot handling for you across 160+ sites, so you never build or maintain a scraper yourself.

Do I need proxies, residential IPs or a headless browser?

No. Proxies, rotation, browser fingerprinting and captcha handling are built in. You send JSON params with an x-api-key header and get live JSON back. Blocked or failed calls are free.

Which sites can I scrape through the API?

160+ engines across search engines, social (Reddit, TikTok, Threads), e-commerce (Amazon, eBay, AliExpress), real estate (Zillow, Redfin), jobs, travel, news, finance and company/people intelligence — each with its own endpoint group and live examples.

Is there a free web scraping API tier?

Yes. Start with 1,000 free credits, no card required. Every engine draws from one shared credit pool, and you can run live examples in the playground before creating a production key.

Can my AI assistant use it to scrape data?

Yes. Connect ReefAPI once over MCP and your AI assistant (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor) can call any engine with the same key, credit pool and JSON envelope — ideal for agents that need live web data.
