Web scraping & data extraction · Zyte Group Ltd.
Zyte
Hosted crawler platform and single unblocking API, built by the maintainers of the Scrapy framework.
Zyte (formerly Scrapinghub) sells a hosted crawler platform, Scrapy Cloud, for deploying and scheduling Scrapy spiders at scale, plus Zyte API, a single endpoint that fetches a URL and returns rendered HTML or extracted data while handling proxies, retries and anti-bot measures automatically. Pricing on the API scales with website difficulty (simple HTML vs. JavaScript-rendered pages behind bot defenses) and request volume, with lower per-request rates at higher monthly spend commitments. Zyte maintains Scrapy itself and offers managed extraction services on top, so it spans self-hosted open-source tooling and fully managed cloud scraping. It suits teams already invested in Scrapy who want managed hosting, or teams that want a pay-per-request unblocking API without running any infrastructure themselves.
