**APIs profiled:** 5

Crawlbase (formerly ProxyCrawl) is a web crawling and scraping platform that fetches any web page through a large rotating proxy network with optional headless-Chrome JavaScript rendering, returning raw HTML, Markdown, screenshots, or structured JSON. A single token-authenticated REST host (api.crawlbase.com) exposes the Crawling API, a Scraper API of ready-made site extractors, Cloud Storage for crawled pages, a Screenshots API, and a Leads API for domain email discovery.
