webscrape.ai ships three products. Which one you want depends on whether you need raw bytes, structured data, or browser interaction.

​
Decision table

​
Common patterns

One-shot, structured

SmartScraper. Schema in, JSON out.

I'll parse it myself

Scrape. Raw HTML or markdown, no LLM involved.

Behind a click or login

SmartBrowse. Real Chrome and replayable recipes.

Cheap retry strategy

Try Scrape first, fall back to SmartScraper or stealth on failure. Failed calls cost 0.

​
SmartBrowse

SmartBrowse runs a saved recipe in a real Chrome session. You build the recipe visually in the studio — click an element, scroll, type into a search box, paginate. Use it when the data is behind a login, an interaction, or a render that only fires after user input. Run flow: POST /v1/smartbrowse/recipes/{id}/run gives you back a run_id. Poll GET /v1/smartbrowse/runs/{id}, or set up a webhook from the dashboard and let us push the result.

​
Stealth mode

Stealth mode is a per-request flag ("stealth": true), not a separate product. Toggle it on Scrape and SmartScraper when the default fetcher hits a challenge or empty page. SmartBrowse already runs in real Chrome, so stealth is built in.
