The scraping API that picks the right engine for every site.

DreamScrape routes each request through the cheapest tier that works — plain HTTP, stealth browser, or anti-detect Firefox. You pay for what you actually need.

How it works

Send a URL

One POST request. Pass the URL you want scraped and we handle the rest. No engine selection needed.

POST /scrape

{ "url": "..." }

We pick the cheapest engine

Our router knows which engine works for each domain and tries the fastest one first. It learns from every request.

HTTP~200ms

cheapest first

Stealth Browser~3s

Anti-detect Firefox~10s
