About

​Steel is an open source browser API that lets you control fleets of browsers in the cloud. From large-scale scrape jobs to fully autonomous web agents, Steel makes it easy to run browser automation in the cloud. Spin up on-demand browser sessions with a simple API call. Built-in CAPTCHA solving that keeps your automation flowing. Simple controls to never worry about getting flagged as a bot again. The average session starts in less than 1s when the client is in the same region. Run for a minute or several hours, each session can run up to 24 hours. Save and inject cookies and local storage to pick up where you left off. Easily run your Puppeteer, Playwright, or Selenium in the cloud. Session Viewer lets you view and debug live or recorded sessions.

About

Web Scraping API & Proxy Server ZenRows API handles rotating proxies, headless browsers and CAPTCHAs for you. Easily collect content from any website with a simple API call. ZenRows will bypass any anti-bot or blocking system to help you obtain the info you are looking for. For that, we include several options such as Javascript Rendering or Premium Proxies. There is also the autoparse option that will return structured data automatically. It will convert unstructured content into structured data (JSON output), with no code necessary. ZenRows offers a high accuracy and success rate without any human intervention. No more CAPTCHAs or setting up proxies; it will be handled for you. Some domains are especially complicated (i.e., Instagram), and for those, Premium Proxies are usually required. After enabling them, the success rate will be equally high. In case the request returns an error, we will not compute nor charge that request. Only successful requests will count.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Helped me get setup and running very quickly and always super quick to respond. Discord is relatively helpful and it helps that they are open core

Cons

  • Product was a bit early when I first started but its working very well now

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • ZenRows is convenient because it bundles proxies, CAPTCHA handling, and headless browsing into one service, which saves a lot of setup and maintenance time. Features like autoparse and JSON output can speed up data extraction, especially for teams that don’t want to build their own scraping infrastructure. Rotating proxies and managed requests also help improve success rates on sites that normally block automated traffic, and the pay-for-successful-requests model can make spending more predictable.
  • Pricing - Not expensive, intuitive to scale. It works well - Needless to say. It's documented well enough.
  • - How responsive it is. - It fits my needs. - The evolution I have seen in all this time using it is always towards giving me more options.
  • I did not find a bug yet. We had to contact support a couple of times, but the support is done by developers, so the response was awesome.

Cons

  • On the downside, using a managed service means less control compared to running your own scraping stack. Costs can increase if you rely on premium proxies or advanced features, and performance may vary on highly protected or dynamic websites. There’s also a dependency on a third-party platform for critical data workflows, and troubleshooting issues can sometimes be harder than when everything is handled in-house.
  • They commit and they deliver, so no cons to be mentioned.
  • I would like if the autoparser supported a longer list of websites.
  • I would like the autoparser to support a wider variety of websites.
