Startpage is served through the Universal Web Scraper API

You scrape Startpage with Chocodata's Universal Web Scraper API: point it at any Startpage URL and get the page back as structured JSON. Residential proxies, rotation, and retries are handled for you, with no Startpage-specific setup. The same API key and credits work here as on every dedicated endpoint.

About Startpage

Startpage is a privacy search engine that returns Google's search results while stripping tracking and personal data from the request. The organic result titles, URLs, description snippets, and rankings shown on its results pages are the public data to scrape.

Scraping note: Startpage issues per-session tokens and challenges automated traffic to protect its proxy of Google, so scraping needs session handling and rotating proxies.

Example Startpage page

https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=best+budget+laptop

Pass a URL like this as url= to the Universal Web Scraper API and get it back as JSON.

Fields you can extract from Startpage

check_small result title check_small result URL check_small description snippet check_small result rank check_small displayed domain

Common use: A developer scrapes Startpage to obtain Google-sourced rankings through a privacy layer without hitting Google's endpoints directly.

Everything you need to scrape Startpage

Residential proxies keep your own IP out of every request, the JSON comes back clean, and 1,000 free requests a month let you prove startpage scraper works before you add a card.

Startpage Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Startpage?

expand_more

Scraping publicly accessible Startpage data is generally legal in the US under the Ninth Circuit's hiQ v. LinkedIn ruling, which held that scraping public web data does not violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. It does not override Startpage's own Terms of Service, which are a contract matter, so check those for your use case and comply with data laws such as GDPR. This is general information, not legal advice.

How do I scrape Startpage without getting blocked?

expand_more

You scrape Startpage without getting blocked by sending the URL to the Universal Web Scraper API, which fetches it through rotating residential proxies and retries on soft blocks. Your own IP is never used, so Startpage's anti-bot layer sees ordinary residential traffic instead of a server.

What data does the Startpage Scraper API return?

expand_more

Through the Universal Web Scraper API you get the Startpage page back as JSON: rendered HTML, plain text, or auto-parsed content depending on the parse mode you pass. You choose the URL, Chocodata returns the data.

How much does the Startpage Scraper API cost?

expand_more

The Startpage Scraper API costs nothing to start: the Free plan includes 1,000 requests per month (5,000 credits) across all 235 targets. After that, monthly plans begin at $19, or you top up pay-as-you-go at $0.90 per 1,000 successful requests. One request is 5 credits, and non-2xx responses are never charged.

Do I need a Startpage account or login?

expand_more

No Startpage login is needed for public pages. You point the Universal Web Scraper API at a publicly accessible Startpage URL with your Chocodata API key; you do not hand over any Startpage credentials. Login-gated content is not supported.
