About
Zyte is a web data extraction platform offering an AI-powered scraping API that detects and bypasses website blocks in real time, returning HTML and structured data with minimal proxy use. Originally founded as Scrapinghub in 2010, the company maintains the open-source Scrapy framework and rebranded to Zyte in 2021 to reflect a broader focus on AI and web data.
The platform combines Zyte API with proxy management, headless browsing, and automatic extraction, plus managed data services with expert engineering oversight. Zyte co-founded the Ethical Web Data Collection Initiative to establish industry standards for ethical data aggregation. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with $5 free credit to start; the main API is not free for ongoing use.
