Discover Zyte’s latest: Web Scraping Copilot, LLM-ready page content, new Zyte API features, enterprise tools, webinars, and Extract Summit talks on-demand.
Discover how Zyte API’s new PageContent data type makes content extraction effortless — delivering clean, structured data from any web page automatically.
Despite their benefits, web scraping APIs are sometimes misunderstood. So, let’s debunk some of the most common myths.
As the web continues to evolve, Zyte API is evolving right alongside it—adding powerful new features and refinements designed to make data extraction smarter, faster, and more adaptable than ever.
In this article, I’llexplain the problem of anti-bot technology for web scraping developers through the lens of the anti-bot distribution curve (a view of the top 250,000 websites and the relative complexity of their anti-bot tech) and the landscape of anti-bot tech across the web.
After a decade of dedicated service, Smart Proxy Manager (SPM) is being retired for new customers. We’re excited to introduce our flagship Web Scraping API, Zyte API, as its worthy successor — the best and only way to access ethical and industry-leading managed proxy solutions.
Web scraping developers often find themselves in a struggle to manage bans and blocks. Every time they resolve a ban, it's only a matter of time before their scrapers encounter the same issue again.
