Best for Teams that need IP diversity and anti-blocking infrastructure at scale rather than a scraping library. Teams needing IP diversity at volume for price monitoring, ad verification or large-scale collection. Teams that want to rent or run scrapers as managed cloud jobs without operating their own infrastructure. Teams building on Scrapy who want managed hosting, or anyone wanting a pay-per-request unblocking API. Developers who need a simple, drop-in fetch API rather than a full scraping platform.
