Question 1

What is a web scraping API?

Accepted Answer

A web scraping API is a service that automatically fetches and parses web pages, returning structured data — links, images, emails, meta tags, and tech stack — in JSON format without you needing to build browser automation yourself.

Question 2

Do I need to sign up to use ScrapingJutsu?

Accepted Answer

No. Guest users can scrape up to 10 pages without an account. Sign up free to get 50 credits and access to the REST API with your personal API key.

Question 3

Does ScrapingJutsu support JavaScript-rendered pages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ScrapingJutsu uses a real headless browser engine powered by Rust that fully renders JavaScript before extracting data, so it works on SPAs, React apps, and dynamically loaded content.

Question 4

Does ScrapingJutsu support multi-page crawling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch to Full Site mode to crawl an entire website — ScrapingJutsu follows internal links and aggregates data across all pages into a single response.

Question 5

Is web scraping legal?

Accepted Answer

Scraping publicly available data is generally legal in most jurisdictions. Always review the target site's robots.txt and Terms of Service. ScrapingJutsu is designed for legitimate data extraction, research, and developer use cases.
