Web Unlocker API questions

What is the Web Unlocker API?

The Scrapeless Web Unlocker API is a real-time website unblocking service. Send one request with a target URL and it automatically bypasses bot detection, solves CAPTCHAs, rotates IPs, manages cookies and headers, and renders JavaScript — returning clean HTML, JSON, Markdown, or a screenshot. You only pay for successful requests.

Is Web Unlocker a proxy?

Web Unlocker uses Scrapeless's proxy infrastructure but adds three things premium proxies lack: (1) request management with retry logic and CAPTCHA solving for a near 100% success rate; (2) complete user emulation at the network level (IP type, rotation, TLS handshake), protocol level (HTTP headers, user-agents, HTTP/2), browser level (cookies, fingerprints — fonts, audio, Canvas/WebGL), and OS level (device enumeration, screen resolution, memory, CPU); and (3) content verification to ensure the data you collect is complete and accurate.

Which website challenges does Web Unlocker support?

Web Unlocker supports a broad and continuously updated range of website challenges, including Cloudflare Challenge, Cloudflare Turnstile, AWS WAF, reCAPTCHA v2, reCAPTCHA v3, and Image CAPTCHA. Our system continuously adapts to changes in website challenge mechanisms, so you can focus on your data workflows without maintaining challenge-handling logic yourself.

Does Web Unlocker render JavaScript?

Yes. Web Unlocker detects JavaScript-heavy sites and automatically launches a built-in browser behind the scenes to render dynamic content, ensuring complete and accurate results with no browser maintenance on your end.

How am I billed?

Billing is per request, and only successful requests are billed. Base pricing starts at $1 per 1K requests, with deeper discounts on higher subscription tiers. Failed requests are never charged.

Can I use Web Unlocker without a monthly commitment?

Yes. Choose Consumption-Based (pay-as-you-go) pricing at the Basic tier with no monthly commitment, or subscribe to a higher tier for discounted per-request rates. You can change plans at any time.

What output formats are supported?

HTML, JSON, Markdown, and screenshots — delivered via API response or webhook.

Is Web Unlocker compliant?

Yes. Scrapeless supports the collection of publicly available data and adheres to applicable data protection regulations including GDPR and CCPA. We do not access private, confidential, or restricted sources without authorization.

Say goodbye to blocks and CAPTCHAs

Unlock any public website in real time. Pay only for success. Built for scraping at scale.
