BASICS
Real use cases, powered by this web scraping API, not a generic marketing list.
The most common uses are price monitoring, market and academic research, search-ranking tracking, lead generation, journalism, and building datasets for analytics or machine learning. The common thread: collecting publicly available data at a scale manual browsing can't match.
Tracking competitor or marketplace pricing, pulling current Buy Box price, third-party offers, and deals from sites like Amazon, eBay, and Walmart on a schedule. See price monitoring for the specific endpoints involved.
Pulling structured listings, price history, and valuations from real estate platforms for market analysis, or gathering product and review data across e-commerce sites to spot trends. See real estate data.
Monitoring where a domain ranks for target keywords across Google, Bing, and other engines, including tracking newer surfaces like AI Overview results. See SERP tracking.
Collecting publicly available business or professional information from directories and platforms for outreach or academic research, always subject to the same legal and ethical considerations covered in is it legal to scrape the web.
Building structured, schema-consistent datasets across many verticals for training or fine-tuning, bulk collection where consistent JSON output matters more than any single lookup. See AI training data.
