Turn websites into data you can use
Collect content for your AI app, extract product details, or build a dataset from a website. Compare scraping and browser APIs for the pages you need to read.
Choose how to collect your data
For an article or documentation page, start with an API that returns the content as Markdown or text. This gives your app something it can read without handling the page layout itself.
If the content appears only after JavaScript runs, choose a provider with browser rendering. Some sites also require proxy options. These features affect the price, so test a few pages from your target site before choosing a provider.
To collect a whole website, use a crawler that discovers links and fetches the pages you need. Set a page limit for your first run, then check the results before collecting more. The guides below cover single-page extraction and website crawling, with code examples and pricing details.

Try different scraping providers with one NativePort key and a shared balance. Pay for your usage, including providers that otherwise require a monthly plan.
Before you start
Which provider should I try first?
The guides below show options for Markdown extraction, browser rendering, and website crawling. Start with the feature your target page needs, then test the same URLs with your shortlisted providers. You can compare prices below and check measured results on the leaderboards.
What happens if a website blocks my request?
NativePort returns the provider’s error and status code. Your app decides whether to retry or try another provider; NativePort does not do that automatically.
What should I check before collecting website data?
Check the site’s terms and the permissions that apply to the content you want to collect. NativePort does not bypass authentication. Each provider also publishes its own policies.
