What it solves
Modern websites are hard to scrape. A plaincurl 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:Pricing
Web Unlocker uses success-based billing — you are only charged when the request succeeds. Failed attempts are free. Pricing scales with volume:

Web Unlocker vs. self-managed proxies
Running your own proxy infrastructure is expensive and fragile. Web Unlocker handles everything as a managed service: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:- A browser is launched with a residential IP and realistic browser fingerprint
- The page is navigated, JavaScript is executed, and dynamic content is loaded
- Anti-bot challenges and CAPTCHAs are handled automatically
- The rendered HTML, a screenshot, and a network archive are captured and returned
How to use it
Send a GET request with the target URL as a query parameter. The response is the fully rendered HTML.CLI and SDK
In addition to the raw HTTP API, Gologin provides higher-level tools for working with Web Unlocker:- Web Unlocker SDK and CLI — minimal TypeScript SDK (
gologin-webunlocker) with typed methods and a CLI for quick scraping - Gologin Web Access CLI — unified CLI that combines Web Unlocker with Cloud Browser, adding batch scraping, crawling, search, change tracking, and structured extraction
