Of course, would love for you to take a look! I mentioned in another comment but we are working on lower cost/faster scraping focused endpoints, It's coming next week
We don't have that yet, but you could definitely do it in your own scripts right now using our browser. We'll try to think of ways to make it easier though :)
Thank you! We do make sure we are using legitimate proxy providers. Also happy to manually set it to the provider of your choice if you are interested in doing that :)
Hey! Completely hear you on that, right now we just have endpoints for headless browsers, this is a instance running chrome with dedicated resources that you have full access to. This comes with proxy services and captcha solving. This comes at a higher cost but you will get blocked less and can do much more, like browser automations.
Dedicated endpoints for just scraping like scraping bee are coming next week at a discounted price! In the mean time let me know if there is anything you would like that scraping bee is missing :)
Thanks, ScrapingBee has everything I am looking for in terms of functionality. My honest opinion is that most people who are looking for an alternative just want something cheaper. Thats 99% of what I am looking for, at least
Things like captcha solving are nice no doubt but for many people, their use cases just aren’t compelling enough to make it worth the ROI. I would love captcha solving, but definitely not at your price point..
Other cofounder of Hyperbrowser here - thanks for the feedback, and noted!
We aim to be pretty competitive on price across the board. Today we're just launching our headless browser service and I think we're significantly less expensive than competitors on that as dbmikus mentioned below
Totally hear you on the scraping specific use case without captcha solving etc though - we'll probably launch competitive pricing for this specific use case in the next few days. I'll make a note to leave a comment here when we do or feel free to email me at shri@hyperbrowser.ai and I can follow-up there :)
We actually keep a pool of browsers ready so when a request comes we just assign it to an already running browser. This way in most situations there is no actual waiting for chrome to startup!
Is each browser process dedicated to a single customer, or do you clear cookies and other state (localStorage, cache, Chrome advertising features...) between customers?
Just docker containers in GCP and AWS. We do all the instance management ourselves. It seems like you are working on infra for this from your bio! Send me an email would love to chat :)
Hey! So we have to use a different proxy service for some sites (LinkedIn included). Just ask in the app support and we can do that. We are also making custom endpoints for LinkedIn as well that should be ready soon, Ill shoot you an email once we have that!
Happy to help with anything :)
