Replace Playwright infrastructure
with a simple API call
Tired of Managing Playwright Infrastructure?
The Playwright Pain
- ⚠️Managing browser binaries and dependencies
- ⚠️Configuring browser pools and concurrency limits
- ⚠️Handling memory leaks and zombie processes
- ⚠️Setting up Docker/Kubernetes for scale
- ⚠️Implementing retry logic and error handling
The ScrapingAnt Solution Bash
# One API call = rendered HTML
curl "https://api.scrapingant.com/v2/general\
?url=https://example.com&browser=true" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Migrate from Playwright in Minutes
Before: Playwright (20+ lines) JavaScript
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
async function scrape(url) {
const browser = await chromium.launch();
const context = await browser.newContext({
proxy: { server: '...' }
});
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto(url);
await page.waitForSelector('.content');
const html = await page.content();
await browser.close();
return html;
}
// + proxy rotation, retries, error handling...After: ScrapingAnt (3 lines) JavaScript
const response = await fetch(
`https://api.scrapingant.com/v2/general
?url=${url}&browser=true&wait_for_selector=.content`,
{ headers: { 'x-api-key': 'YOUR_KEY' } }
);
const html = await response.text();
// That's it. Proxies, retries, anti-bot - all handled.Playwright-Like Features, Zero Infrastructure
⏱️wait_for_selector
page.waitForSelector() in Playwright. Wait for any CSS selector to appear before returning the HTML. Perfect for SPAs and AJAX content.⚡js_snippet
page.evaluate() in Playwright. Execute custom JavaScript on the page - click buttons, scroll, interact with elements, extract data from the DOM.🌐proxy_type & proxy_country

Frequently asked questions.
Is ScrapingAnt really a Playwright replacement?
For web scraping use cases, yes. ScrapingAnt handles browser rendering, proxy rotation, and anti-bot bypass - the same things you'd use Playwright for in scraping. If you need complex interactions beyond scraping (like testing or automation), Playwright is still the right choice. But if your goal is to get rendered HTML from websites at scale, our API is simpler and more cost-effective.
What about page interactions like clicks and scrolls?
Use the js_snippet parameter. It works like page.evaluate() in Playwright - you can execute any JavaScript on the page. Click buttons, scroll to load more content, expand accordions, fill forms. Just base64-encode your JavaScript and pass it to the API.
How does proxy rotation work?
Automatic. Every request uses a different IP from our pool of 2M+ residential or 50K+ datacenter proxies. You don't need to manage proxy lists, handle rotation logic, or deal with failed proxies. Just choose proxy_type=residential or proxy_type=datacenter and we handle the rest.
Can I wait for dynamic content like in Playwright?
Yes. The wait_for_selector parameter works just like page.waitForSelector() in Playwright. Pass any CSS selector and we'll wait for that element to appear before returning the HTML. Perfect for SPAs, AJAX content, and infinite scroll pages.
What about Cloudflare-protected sites?
Our system includes built-in bypass for Cloudflare, Akamai, and other anti-bot systems. Unlike raw Playwright where you'd need to implement stealth plugins, rotate fingerprints, and manage proxy quality yourself, we handle all of that automatically. Higher success rates with zero configuration.
How many concurrent requests can I make?
Unlimited. Unlike self-hosted Playwright where you're constrained by server memory and CPU, our cloud infrastructure scales automatically. Fire as many requests as you need - we handle the browser pool management. No more worrying about concurrency limits or queue management.
