WebScraping.AI

WebScraping.AI is a web scraping API that returns the rendered HTML, visible text, CSS-selected fragments, or LLM-extracted structured data of any URL, so callers do not have to operate their own scraping infrastructure. The service handles headless Chromium JavaScript rendering, rotating datacenter, residential and stealth proxies, CAPTCHA solving and geotargeting. Seven read-only GET operations on api.webscraping.ai are documented in a published OpenAPI 3.1.0 specification, authenticated with an api_key query parameter, metered in credits and bounded by a per-plan ceiling on concurrent requests. The same capabilities are reachable as a hosted OAuth-protected MCP server for AI assistants, an HTTP proxy front-end for existing scraping tools, an official CLI that ships an installable agent skill, and first-party SDKs for Python, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, Go, Java and .NET.

WebScraping.AI publishes 6 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Account API, AI API, HTML API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Web Scraping, Data Extraction, Proxies, Artificial Intelligence, and Browser Automation.

WebScraping.AI’s developer surface includes authentication, CLI, sandbox, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, developer console, and 33 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
Official SDKs on Package Registries	undeclared	-	-	1
Agent Skills (SKILL.md packages)	undeclared	-	-	1
Official SDKs on Packagist, pub.dev and Hex	undeclared	-	-	1
APIs.guru OpenAPI Directory (API definition directory)	undeclared	-	-	1

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 1

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
