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 super user scraper works before you add a card.

data_object

Clean structured JSON

Fields come back parsed and validated, not a dump of HTML. Store Super User search records straight into your database instead of writing brittle selectors for super user scraper.

gpp_good

Bypasses CAPTCHAs and anti-bot defenses

We get past CAPTCHAs, IP rate limiting, IP blocking, and headless-browser detection on Super User using rotating, country-matched residential proxies, so requests look like real users and your own IP stays private.

api

One API call

The Super User Scraper API is one simple API call. The same key works across our whole web scraping API: all 235 targets, any language, no SDK required.

travel_explore

Geo-targeting and JS rendering

Pass a country for proxy geo-targeting and turn on JavaScript rendering when a Super User page needs it. super user data api handles dynamic content and region-locked results.

Scrape Super User in one API request

One call returns parsed Super User search fields as JSON. You never touch raw HTML or rent a proxy pool, which turns scrape super user into something you wire into a pipeline in an afternoon.

Super User Scraper API FAQ

Is it legal to scrape Super User?

expand_more
Scraping publicly accessible Super User 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 Super User'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 Super User without getting blocked?

expand_more
You scrape Super User without getting blocked by letting Chocodata route every request through country-matched residential proxies with automatic rotation and retries. Because the traffic looks like real users from real networks, the Super User Scraper API gets through anti-bot defenses that block datacenter IPs, and you never expose your own address.

What data does the Super User Scraper API return?

expand_more
The Super User Scraper API returns Super User search data as structured JSON: the core fields parsed from the page, ready to store or query. Exact fields depend on the search type, and only successful (2xx) responses are billed.

How much does the Super User Scraper API cost?

expand_more
The Super User 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 Super User account or login?

expand_more
No Super User account or login is required. The Super User Scraper API reads publicly accessible search pages, so you only need a Chocodata API key, not Super User credentials. Pages that sit behind a Super User login are out of scope.
