Surely this is illegal
In what way exactly?
Most countries have consumer protection laws that stop things like charging for services and then never providing them.
I know right, I would have thought the same, but looks like they don't care at all...
is it working well for you?
yes, like I said I'm using it with no issues so far. their support was really fast to respond when I had a question about their javascript integration.
Depends what kind of bot protection and volume of scraping you're looking at.
If there's minimal bot protection and you're able to scrape locally off your PC, you can literally take the page html, put a schema into openAI structured response, and get your data.
If you can't get by from scraping locally or using residential proxies on a server due to high bot protection, then it's probably not worth building yourself.
Check out fire crawl and see how it compares to scraping bee for your needs.
Someone else listed my site on it in the early days so I didn't pay, but it's a decent back link and I get around 50 visitors a day from it still, so not bad.
oh! nice.
Right now its paid but it does promote it on their Newsletter as well.
