Web Unlocker is a universal scraping API. Send any URL, get back fully rendered HTML, a screenshot, and a network archive — no infrastructure to manage, no blocks, no failed requests. It works as a complete replacement for your scraping stack: browser automation, proxy management, fingerprinting, CAPTCHA solving — all handled in a single API call. Whether you’re scraping a simple static page or a heavily protected JavaScript-rendered site, the same endpoint handles it.

​
What it solves

Modern websites are hard to scrape. A plain curl or requests call often returns a challenge page, a blank response, or broken HTML because the content is loaded by JavaScript. Web Unlocker handles all of this automatically:
  • JavaScript rendering — pages are loaded in a real browser and fully executed before content is captured
  • Anti-bot bypass — Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX and similar protections are handled automatically
  • Smart IP rotation — requests are routed through clean residential IPs with realistic browser fingerprints
  • CAPTCHA solving — common CAPTCHA challenges are resolved without manual intervention
  • Price tier targeting — routes requests through the appropriate proxy tier for the target site

​
What you get back

Every successful task returns three types of content:
ContentFormatDescription
HTMLFull HTML stringThe complete rendered DOM of the page
ScreenshotPNG imageA screenshot of the page as it appeared in the browser
ArchiveZIP (HAR)Network log with all requests, headers, and resources

​
Pricing

Web Unlocker uses success-based billing — you are only charged when the request succeeds. Failed attempts are free. Pricing scales with volume:
VolumePrice per request
Growth$0.98
Professional$0.75
Business$0.60
Premium$0.45

Web Unlocker vs. self-managed proxies

Running your own proxy infrastructure is expensive and fragile. Web Unlocker handles everything as a managed service:

BillingPer successful requestFixed cost regardless of success

​
Common use cases

  • Price monitoring — scrape e-commerce sites that block automated requests
  • Lead generation — extract contact data from directories and business listings
  • Market research — collect product data, reviews, or job listings at scale
  • Content aggregation — build news or data feeds from sites without an API
  • AI pipelines — feed rendered HTML into LLMs for extraction or summarization

​
How it works

Web Unlocker runs a real Chromium browser in the cloud for each task. When you send a URL:
  1. A browser is launched with a residential IP and realistic browser fingerprint
  2. The page is navigated, JavaScript is executed, and dynamic content is loaded
  3. Anti-bot challenges and CAPTCHAs are handled automatically
  4. The rendered HTML, a screenshot, and a network archive are captured and returned
You never manage infrastructure. There are no browsers to spin up, no proxy lists to maintain, and no bypass logic to build. Web Unlocker effectively replaces an entire scraping stack — browser automation framework, proxy provider, anti-bot solution — with a single HTTP request.

​
Two execution modes

Web Unlocker supports two modes depending on your use case: Synchronous (default) — The API waits until the task completes and returns the full result in one response. Best for simple scripts and on-demand requests. Asynchronous — The API returns immediately with a task ID. You poll for status and download results when ready. Best for complex sites, batch processing, or when you need to handle many URLs in parallel. See Async Mode for details.
