How much does WebScrapingAPI cost?
Each product is priced on its own. The Scraper API starts free with 5,000 requests, then from $19 a month. The SERP API gives 100 free Google searches, then from $28 a month. The Amazon Data API offers 100 free requests and starts at $59 a month. Residential proxies are $8.50 per GB pay-as-you-go or from $52 a month, and managed data programs start at $299 a month. The Browser API and Crawl API are quoted per workload.
Does WebScrapingAPI have a Google SERP API?
Yes, as a separate product with its own Google plans, starting with 100 free searches and then from $28 a month. It returns parsed results so you don't have to maintain HTML selectors for Google's layout. Because it's priced apart from the Scraper API, a team that needs both search results and page content will be paying for two subscriptions, which is worth costing out against single-credit-pool vendors.
Which languages does WebScrapingAPI support?
It's a REST API, so any HTTP client works. The vendor publishes code examples for Python, PHP, Java, Ruby, Node.js, R, C#, Elixir, Rust and Go, which is wider than most competitors list. Responses come back as JSON, CSV or raw HTML depending on the product and parameters, and the vendor handles proxy rotation, JavaScript rendering and CAPTCHA solving on its side.
Is WebScrapingAPI a good fit for AI agents?
It works as a fetch layer, but you'll do more of the LLM preparation yourself. The Scraper API returns HTML or JSON, so you'll need your own cleanup or extraction step before the content goes to a model. Where it helps is the parsed Google and Amazon endpoints, which skip that step for those two sources. For arbitrary pages fed straight into prompts, a markdown-first tool such as Firecrawl needs less glue code.
Is WebScrapingAPI a proxy provider?
It sells residential proxies and stealth proxies, but its main self-serve products are scraping APIs that handle proxies internally, so it's listed here as a data extraction API. That distinction matters for buying. If you only want IPs to plug into your own scrapers, the proxy plans are the relevant product, and if you want results without managing infrastructure, start with the Scraper or SERP API.
