Data API
Coming soonUnblocker API
For the pages that answer a plain fetch with a challenge.
What it is
The jobs the Unblocker API is for
The Unblocker API will share the Scraper API’s interface and keep going where a single fetch fails: rotating, retrying and working through challenges until the target returns a page.
Right tool for
- Pages that return an interstitial or a challenge
- Targets where a plain fetch succeeds only sometimes
- Jobs you would otherwise keep alive by tuning retries by hand
Wrong tool for
- Targets that answer a plain fetch: the Scraper API covers those
- Work that must hold one address across requests: use ISP
Planned interface
The Unblocker API, as planned
The catalogue carries this ladder for the day the Unblocker API opens. Nothing here is on sale or can be ordered, the rates may change before launch, and a product that is not yet on sale is not offered or priced under the terms.

|---|---|
| Interface | HTTPS API, same shape as the Scraper API |

It is in the catalogue and marked coming soon. The planned rate ladder is on this page, captioned as not on sale. The day it opens, that ladder becomes the price list and the order route appears here.
