Stop maintaining parsers on top of a fetch API. Run site-specific scrapers, see cost before each job, and only pay for rows that succeed.
ScrapingBee returns rendered HTML. Scrapy IO returns structured fields from maintained scrapers—with lightning-fast runs and upfront estimates.

ScrapingBee is a fetch API. You still own selectors, retries, and schema drift. Scrapy IO replaces that whole middle layer: pick a maintained scraper, validate inputs, see cost before run, and export typed rows—not another HTML cleanup job.
“ScrapingBee kept us unblocked and still employed two engineers for parsers. Scrapy IO made that team unnecessary for our core sources.”
Store scrapers return named JSON fields. You skip selector churn every time a site layout changes.
Purpose-built tools for Maps, social, and search—not one generic URL fetch at a time.
Blocked or empty ScrapingBee credits still burn. Empty Scrapy IO rows do not.
See expected cost and runtime before you commit—instead of discovering usage after the fact.
Browse 150+ scrapers or request a custom one we host—no DIY parsing stack.
Trigger runs, pull datasets, and schedule jobs from the same API your apps already use.

“We used ScrapingBee for a year and still owned every CSS selector. Moving to Scrapy IO cut our maintenance to near zero—we just pick a scraper and export.”
ScrapingBee bills for requests and rendering whether or not your parsers succeed. Scrapy IO estimates each run up front and charges only for successful structured rows from store scrapers.
