What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“All‑in‑one scraping (IP + rendering + CAPTCHA) | ScraperAPI, Crawlbase, Zyte” MiniMax M2.5 · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · alternative
“Go with ScraperAPI/ZenRows if you simply want the data delivered to your inbox/server” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · alternative
“More API-centric than proxy-centric.” GPT-5.4 mini · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · alternative

“ScraperAPI (High Caution / Avoid for Complex Scraping)” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Proxy and web data · negative prompt · hard negative
“very simple onboarding and fast latency, but lower success rates (~69%) on heavily protected sites” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Proxy and web data · comparative prompt · soft negative
“Low-Cost/Unproven APIs (e.g., generic ScraperAPI clones): Budget options fail on protected sites” Grok 4.1 Fast · Proxy and web data · negative prompt · soft negative

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page scraperapi.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.

Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when ScraperAPI's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as ScraperAPI, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for ScraperAPI by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where ScraperAPI is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name ScraperAPI, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
