About Gaffa is a web scraping and browser automation API that gives developers full, real-browser control with a single API call no headless browsers, proxies, CAPTCHA handling, or scaling infrastructure to manage. JavaScript rendering is handled by default, so pages load exactly as they would for a real visitor. Gaffa supports web scraping, AI-powered structured data extraction, screenshot capture, PDF export, infinite-scroll handling, form filling, and converting any webpage into clean, LLM-ready Markdown for AI and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network ensures reliable access across geographies with automatic anti-bot bypass. Credits are charged only for actual browser execution time and bandwidth used, with no fixed infrastructure costs.		About Microlink is a fast, scalable, and reliable high-level API that controls a headless browser as a service, turning any web page into structured data, screenshots, PDFs, metadata, link previews, and performance metrics. It offers dedicated endpoints for metadata extraction, full-page and element screenshots, PDF generation, SDK-powered link previews, Lighthouse-based performance insights, and favicon retrieval, all accessible via a simple, declarative RESTful interface with interactive documentation. Built on optimized, serverless infrastructure and a global CDN of over 240 edge nodes, Microlink delivers consistent 99.9% uptime, built-in caching, request isolation, and automated proxy resolution without shared browser instances. Customizable features include configurable time-to-live, custom HTTP headers, and seamless scaling from free trials to millions of requests per month. Security compliance is ensured through isolated browser sessions per request.

Pricing $20 per 5000 credits Gaffa uses a simple credit-based pricing model. Plans start at $20 for 5,000 credits, with no subscription lock-in. Credits cover both browser execution time (1 credit per 30 seconds of runtime) and residential proxy bandwidth (750 credits per GB). A typical browser session, combining short execution time with low proxy bandwidth costs, costs around 3 credits, so 5,000 credits covers roughly 1,600+ typical sessions. All new accounts also receive 500 free credits to get started, no credit card required.

Pros from Real Users Pros Super reliable and straightforward tool. Refined set of features and clear documentation. Our setup couldn't have been much faster and we've not had any issues with the tool in over a year! Our system was using a more expensive competing product, but Gaffa made the transition simple and seamless. We are primarily using it to print PDF reports from our site, but plan to expand its use to other parts of our product and processes. Very easy to get going! Really expressive API. Saved me a lot of time and allowed me to do just what I needed in terms of interacting with sites and getting data back in the right way. Also the dashboard where you can see your previous requests is really useful when debugging!
