FAQPage Schema
How do I scrape websites protected by anti-bot measures?

Web scraping of anti-bot protected sites requires a high-performance API that handles rotating proxies, Chrome TLS fingerprinting, and smart retries. ScrapeNinja provides these protections along with configurable timeouts and custom headers to defeat common bot detection.

Can I scrape JavaScript-rendered pages with curl?

Yes. ScrapeNinja enables JS rendering and scraping through its API, allowing you to fetch pages with or without JavaScript execution. You control rendering via API parameters and extract structured data using Cheerio extractors.

What's the best way to extract structured data from web pages?

Define Cheerio extractors to parse and structure data from scraped HTML. ScrapeNinja returns raw HTML or rendered content, which you pass to Cheerio functions for targeted DOM selection and data extraction into clean, usable formats.

How do I perform geo-targeted web scraping?

ScrapeNinja's rotating proxy feature supports geo-targeting, letting you scrape from different geographic locations. Specify your target region in API parameters to route requests through location-specific proxies and access region-restricted content.

Does web scraping work with AJAX and dynamic content loading?

Yes. ScrapeNinja intercepts AJAX requests and supports wait-for selectors to handle dynamically loaded content. Enable JS rendering and set selector waits to ensure all content loads before extraction begins.

When should I use screenshot capture instead of HTML scraping?

Use screenshot capture when you need visual verification, layout-dependent data, or content rendered by complex client-side frameworks that Cheerio cannot parse. ScrapeNinja captures full-page screenshots for visual extraction when HTML parsing is insufficient.
