Scrape.ly workflow

01-API-First Platform

Built to control scraping from code

Scrape.ly gives developers a reliable control layer for web scraping, automation, and structured data extraction.

Structured results

Fetch clean outputs from datasets, tables, files, or key-value stores in formats your team already uses.

Developer-friendly clients

Use JavaScript, Python, or direct REST requests to connect Scrape.ly with your product or internal stack.

Secure by default

Authenticate with API tokens, manage access safely, and scale requests with clear limits and predictable behavior.

02-API Clients

Run Scrape.ly from JavaScript or Python

Use Scrape.ly’s API clients to trigger scrapers, pass inputs, monitor runs, and fetch structured results from your own code.

from scrapely_client import ScrapelyClient
client = ScrapelyClient('YOUR_TOKEN', api_url='https://api.scrape.ly')
run = client.actor('username/my-actor').call(
run_input={'url': 'https://example.com/products'}
)
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
print(item)

Scheduling & Monitoring

Run scrapers hourly, daily, weekly, or on custom intervals with built-in status tracking.

Proxy Reliability

Use smart proxy routing to reduce blocks, avoid rate limits, and keep requests moving.
