About Gaffa is a web scraping and browser automation API that gives developers full, real-browser control with a single API call no headless browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA handling, or scaling infrastructure to manage. JavaScript rendering is handled by default, so pages load exactly as they would for a real visitor. Gaffa supports web scraping, AI-powered structured data extraction, screenshot capture, PDF export, infinite-scroll handling, form filling, and converting any webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown for AI and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network ensures reliable access across geographies with automatic anti-bot bypass. Credits are charged only for actual browser execution time and bandwidth used, with no fixed infrastructure costs.		About Web Scraping API & Proxy Server ZenRows API handles rotating proxies, headless browsers and CAPTCHAs for you. Easily collect content from any website with a simple API call. ZenRows will bypass any anti-bot or blocking system to help you obtain the info you are looking for. For that, we include several options such as Javascript Rendering or Premium Proxies. There is also the autoparse option that will return structured data automatically. It will convert unstructured content into structured data (JSON output), with no code necessary. ZenRows offers a high accuracy and success rate without any human intervention. No more CAPTCHAs or setting up proxies; it will be handled for you. Some domains are especially complicated (i.e., Instagram), and for those, Premium Proxies are usually required. After enabling them, the success rate will be equally high. In case the request returns an error, we will not compute nor charge that request. Only successful requests will count.

Pricing $20 per 5000 credits Gaffa uses a simple credit-based pricing model. Plans start at $20 for 5,000 credits, with no subscription lock-in. Credits cover both browser execution time (1 credit per 30 seconds of runtime) and residential proxy bandwidth (750 credits per GB). A typical browser session, combining short execution time with low proxy bandwidth costs, costs around 3 credits, so 5,000 credits covers roughly 1,600+ typical sessions. All new accounts also receive 500 free credits to get started, no credit card required.

Pros from Real Users Pros Super reliable and straightforward tool. Refined set of features and clear documentation. Our setup couldn't have been much faster and we've not had any issues with the tool in over a year! Our system was using a more expensive competing product, but Gaffa made the transition simple and seamless. We are primarily using it to print PDF reports from our site, but plan to expand its use to other parts of our product and processes. Very easy to get going! Really expressive API. Saved me a lot of time and allowed me to do just what I needed in terms of interacting with sites and getting data back in the right way. Also the dashboard where you can see your previous requests is really useful when debugging!		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros ZenRows is convenient because it bundles proxies, CAPTCHA handling, and headless browsing into one service, which saves a lot of setup and maintenance time. Features like autoparse and JSON output can speed up data extraction, especially for teams that don’t want to build their own scraping infrastructure. Rotating proxies and managed requests also help improve success rates on sites that normally block automated traffic, and the pay-for-successful-requests model can make spending more predictable. Pricing - Not expensive, intuitive to scale. It works well - Needless to say. It's documented well enough. - How responsive it is. - It fits my needs. - The evolution I have seen in all this time using it is always towards giving me more options. I did not find a bug yet. We had to contact support a couple of times, but the support is done by developers, so the response was awesome. Cons On the downside, using a managed service means less control compared to running your own scraping stack. Costs can increase if you rely on premium proxies or advanced features, and performance may vary on highly protected or dynamic websites. There’s also a dependency on a third-party platform for critical data workflows, and troubleshooting issues can sometimes be harder than when everything is handled in-house. They commit and they deliver, so no cons to be mentioned. I would like if the autoparser supported a longer list of websites. I would like the autoparser to support a wider variety of websites.
