Speed

How fast is the Chocodata scraping API?

The median Chocodata scrape completes in 2.6 seconds end to end, with p95 at 6 seconds and p99 around 10 seconds, measured across all 237 supported sites. Those times include residential proxy routing, CAPTCHA and anti-bot handling, automatic retries, and HTML parsing. The demo below replays a typical web scraper API request in real time.

How Chocodata Works?

Our scraping API gets you the data you need in three simple steps, with zero infrastructure to manage.

send

Send Request

Send a simple GET request with your target site, a query, and your API key as ?api_key=.

settings_suggest

Automatic Handling

We automatically handle residential proxy rotation, CAPTCHAs, and failed request retries.

data_object

Get JSON Data

Receive structured JSON data ready for your application or database integration.

Get Started View Documentation

Every defense, handled for you

Every scraping API request runs through our anti-blocking stack, so you never touch proxies, browsers, or CAPTCHA solvers. Here is what Chocodata tackles on every single call.

gpp_good

CAPTCHAs and challenge pages

We detect and clear CAPTCHAs and anti-bot challenge pages automatically, so a bot check never breaks your scrape or returns you an empty page.

vpn_lock

Residential proxy rotation

Every request routes through a country-matched residential IP pool that rotates automatically, so your own IP never goes near the target site.

speed

IP rate limiting

We spread traffic across thousands of IPs, so a target never sees a rate-limit-tripping volume from any single address and your throughput stays high.

block

IP blocking

When a target blocks an address, we instantly retry through a fresh residential IP, so a single block never stops your data from coming back.

smart_toy

Headless-browser detection

Real browser fingerprints and human-like behavior keep the anti-bot systems that flag headless browsers from ever seeing one on your requests.

autorenew

Retries and JS rendering

Multi-tier retries across datacenter, residential, and premium pools, plus optional JavaScript rendering for dynamic, JS-heavy pages that need a real browser.

Why Developers Use Chocodata?

A web scraper API engineered for reliability, speed, and seamless integration.

rocket_launch

Fast at the tail

Median 2.6 s, p95 6 s, p99 ~10 s. Multi-tier retry through datacenter, residential, and premium pools keeps latency predictable even when target sites are actively fighting back.

verified_user

Validated structured JSON

When a scrape returns 2xx, the fields match the live page - 250+ endpoints return parity-checked JSON we regression-test on every extractor change. Country-matched residential proxies handle each site's anti-bot reliably, across 237 targets in 17 categories.

integration_instructions

Drop-in REST API

Standard HTTP + JSON. Official SDKs shipped for Node.js (npm install chocodata), Python (pip install chocodata), and Go. CLI + MCP server for AI agents also available. Copy-paste snippets for cURL, Ruby, PHP, Java, and C# in the dashboard.

Get Started

Clean JSON, every target

Stop parsing messy HTML. Our scraper API returns clean, structured data from any of 237 sites instantly. The example below is a product page - search results, articles, jobs, listings and profiles all return the same parity-checked JSON shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chocodata?

expand_more
One scraping API for the whole web. A single REST endpoint extracts structured JSON from 237 sites across 17 categories - search engines (Google, Bing), e-commerce (Amazon, Walmart, eBay), social, real estate, finance, knowledge bases like Wikipedia, and more. We handle country-matched residential proxies, retries, and anti-bot challenges so you don't have to.

Which sites can I scrape?

expand_more
237 targets today, across 598 endpoints, with 250+ returning validated, parity-checked structured JSON (including 230+ dedicated specific-item endpoints). Search engines, marketplaces, social platforms, real-estate and finance sites, and reference sources are all live, and the catalogue keeps growing. Every endpoint follows the same /api/v1/{site}/{resource}?api_key=...&query=... shape.

Is web scraping legal?

expand_more
Scraping publicly available data is generally legal under current US precedent (hiQ v LinkedIn, 9th Cir. 2022). Individual sites' Terms of Service may prohibit automated extraction, so it can be a ToS matter; enforcement is civil and typically limited to IP-level rate-limiting. Consult your legal counsel and ensure you comply with local data laws (GDPR, etc.) if you're storing data from EU customers.

What can I do with the data?

expand_more
Price monitoring, competitor and market research, SERP and SEO tracking, lead generation, real-estate and financial data feeds, brand protection, sentiment analysis, and feeding structured data into ML/LLM pipelines are the common use cases - across any of the 237 supported targets.

How fast is Chocodata?

expand_more
Median 2.6 s per request, p95 6 s, p99 ~10 s, including proxy routing, anti-bot handling, retries, and parsing. Multi-tier retry orchestration (datacenter, residential, premium) keeps tail latency predictable through each site's anti-bot pressure.

How much does it cost?

expand_more
The Free plan gives you a one-time 1,000 requests (5,000 credits) with all 237 targets, 10 concurrent, and the full dashboard - no card required. Paid plans start at $19/mo (Vibe, 27,000 requests, 30 concurrent) and $49/mo (Pro, 82,000 requests, 50 concurrent), with Custom from $100 to $2,000/mo. Top-up at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests on any plan. 1 request = 5 credits (JS render +10, screenshot +10). Only HTTP 2xx responses are billed.

How to integrate Chocodata into my workflow?

expand_more
A REST call with your API key as a ?api_key= query parameter - or use one of our official SDKs: chocodata on npm, chocodata on PyPI, and a Go module at github.com/Chocodata-com/chocodata-go. Plus an official CLI and an MCP server for AI agents. Copy-paste snippets for cURL, Ruby, PHP, Java, and C# are in the dashboard playground.

What is the subscription cancellation policy?

expand_more
Monthly plans (Vibe, Pro, Custom) cancel from the dashboard and stop at the end of the current billing cycle - no prorated refund, but you keep access to included credits until the cycle ends. If you prefer to stay off subscriptions entirely, the Free plan plus pay-as-you-go top-ups at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests works on a prepaid basis with no recurring charge. Unused prepaid PAYG balance is refundable on request within 30 days.

What is the refund policy?

expand_more
First 1,000 requests are free on signup. Unused prepaid balance is refundable on request within 30 days. If our service fails for >1 hour of consecutive outage, we'll issue a proportional credit automatically.

What are the available payment methods?

expand_more
All major cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). For invoice / wire transfer at enterprise volume, email info@chocodata.com.

What are the alternatives to using Chocodata?

expand_more
Alternatives include building your own scraping infrastructure with rotating proxies and CAPTCHA solvers per site, or stitching together several single-purpose scraper APIs. Chocodata replaces all of that with one endpoint, one key, and validated JSON across 237 targets.
