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
