Introduction to the Universal Scraper API
AutoScraper Universal Scraper API are a suite of specialized tools designed to simplify web data extraction, submission, and monitoring. Unlike monolithic solutions, our APIs address specific use cases—from scraping articles to automating workflows—while leveraging shared anti-bot infrastructure (Residential Proxies and Scraping Browser) for maximum reliability.Built for developers and businesses, these APIs abstract complexities like IP rotation, fingerprint management, and dynamic content handling, allowing you to focus on extracting value from web data.
With AI-driven parsing, Residential Proxies, and Task-Based Workflows, AutoScraper simplifies complex scraping scenarios—from extracting articles to executing multi-step interactions (e.g., logins, pagination, form submissions)—all without manual coding.
Key Features
-
AI-Powered Content Recognition
Define your data structure using JSON Schema, and let our AI automatically detect and extract matching content—no manual selectors required.
-
Article-Specific Extraction
Optimized for content-heavy pages (blogs, news, documentation), extracting titles, bodies, authors, and publish dates with pinpoint accuracy.
-
Dynamic Screenshot Capture
Capture full-page screenshots, specific elements, or critical sections of a page in PNG/JPEG formats.
-
Sitemap-Based Monitoring
Automatically track website updates by integrating with sitemaps, ensuring efficient and targeted data refresh cycles.
-
Residential Proxy Network
Access global IPs across 100+ countries to bypass geo-blocks and anti-bot systems while maintaining anonymity.
-
Headless Scraping Browser
Seamlessly render JavaScript, interact with dynamic elements, and handle SPAs (Single-Page Apps) without manual configuration.

Anti-Bot Evasion
Built-in solutions for Cloudflare, CAPTCHAs, and fingerprinting—focus on data, not countermeasures.
-
Resource Optimization
Block unnecessary assets (images, ads) to accelerate scraping speed and reduce bandwidth.
-
Task-Based Workflows (beta!)
Visually design automated workflows (clicks, form fills, navigation) using the AutoScraper Chrome Extension, then execute them via API. Ideal for multi-step scraping, data submission, or dynamic interactions.
