A complete scraping stack
Browser rendering, proxy rotation, and anti-bot defense, behind a single REST endpoint.
JavaScript Rendering
Real headless browsers render single-page apps, dynamic content and infinite scroll. Get the same HTML a user sees in Chrome.
Proxies Across 195+ Countries
Residential and ISP (static residential) IPs across 195+ countries. Geo-target requests at the country level with one parameter.
Auto-Retry & CAPTCHA Solving
reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha and bot challenges are detected and bypassed automatically. Failed requests retry on a fresh IP, you only pay for successful responses.
Headers, Cookies & Sessions
Forward custom headers, cookies and POST bodies through the API. Maintain a session across requests with a session ID.
Structured JSON or Raw HTML
Get parsed JSON for common targets, or raw HTML and decide how to extract. Webhook delivery available for async batch jobs.
Built for Scale
Hundreds of concurrent requests per plan, sub-second average latency, 99.9% uptime SLA. Run thousands of jobs in parallel without managing infrastructure.
One HTTP request away
Plain REST. Send a URL, get the data, no scraper code to maintain.

api_key: process.env.SHIFTER_API_KEY,
url: "https://amazon.com/dp/B0CRMR6JKZ",
