What Scrapingdog is
Scrapingdog wraps the awkward parts of data collection into APIs: proxies, headless browsers and anti-blocking handling, exposing search results, AI overviews, maps and news as structured JSON for developers and data teams.
What you can do with it
- Retrieve search results as structured data
- Pull map and place information
- Collect news results
- Run recurring collection jobs
- Avoid maintaining browser infrastructure
Who it is for
- Developers needing search data
- Data collection teams
- Businesses doing market research at scale
What to watch out for
- Scraping search engines is directly against their terms of service, and accounts or IPs get blocked
- Anti-blocking features exist to defeat protections, which raises both contractual and, in some places, legal questions
- Results may include personal data, so lawful basis and retention matter
- Data freshness varies, so verify before relying on it commercially
