Crawlkit

CrawlKit is your all-in-one solution for turning the web into a structured, reliable API. It's a powerful web data extraction platform built for developers and data teams who are tired of the headaches that come with traditional web scraping. Instead of wrestling with rotating proxies, headless browsers, and anti-bot measures, you can use a single, simple API call to get clean, parsed data from virtually any website or platform. Whether you need professional data from LinkedIn, insights from Instagram, search results, app store reviews, or a screenshot of a webpage, CrawlKit handles the complex collection process so you can focus on building your product and analyzing the data. It's designed to be scalable and reliable, offering high success rates with low latency, making it perfect for everyone from fast-moving startups to large enterprises building robust, automated data pipelines.

Unified API for Every Data Source

CrawlKit provides one consistent API interface to extract data from a wide variety of sources. You don't need separate tools for LinkedIn, Instagram, Google Search, or app stores. A single request format lets you pull structured data from all of them, dramatically simplifying your codebase and data collection strategy. This means less time integrating different scrapers and more time using the data.

Built-in Proxy Rotation & Browser Rendering

The platform automatically manages the technical hurdles of web scraping for you. It uses intelligent proxy rotation and full browser rendering to navigate anti-bot protections and JavaScript-heavy websites. This ensures you get complete, accurate data from even the most complex modern web applications (like Single Page Apps) without having to build or maintain this infrastructure yourself.

Simple, Transparent Credit-Based Pricing

With CrawlKit, you only pay for what you use through a clear credit system. Each API endpoint costs a fixed number of credits, and you're only charged when a request is successful. There are no monthly commitments, no rate limits, and your purchased credits never expire. This predictable, pay-as-you-go model makes it easy to scale your usage up or down without surprise fees.

Developer-First SDK & Integrations

CrawlKit is built for developers, with an official Node.js SDK and a straightforward HTTP API that works with any programming language or platform. It plays nicely with your existing tools, whether you're using AWS, Cloud Run, Puppeteer, or AI models from OpenAI and Gemini. This flexibility means no vendor lock-in and the ability to fit CrawlKit seamlessly into your current workflows and automation.

CRM and Sales Lead Enrichment

Automatically enrich contact profiles in your CRM with fresh, professional data. Use the LinkedIn API to pull job titles, company information, skills, and experience for leads and prospects, giving your sales team richer context and better insights before they make a call, all without manual data entry.

Social Media and Competitor Monitoring

Track brand health and competitor activity effortlessly. Monitor public Instagram profiles for follower growth, engagement rates on posts, and content strategy. You can schedule regular crawls to build historical datasets that reveal trends and opportunities in your market.

App Store Review Analysis

Gather user feedback at scale by extracting reviews and ratings from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Analyze this data to identify common pain points, feature requests, and sentiment trends for your own app or to conduct competitive research on other apps in your category.

Market and Price Intelligence

Run targeted web searches through CrawlKit to gather product listings, pricing information, and availability from e-commerce sites and directories. Structure this data to monitor competitor pricing strategies, track inventory changes, and identify market gaps automatically.

How does the credit system work?

Each successful API call consumes a certain number of credits, which varies by endpoint (e.g., a LinkedIn profile call might cost 2 credits). You only pay for successful requests. You purchase credits upfront, and they never expire. There are no monthly subscriptions or hidden fees, and you can upgrade to larger credit packs for volume discounts.

What happens if a request fails?

CrawlKit is built for reliability. If a request fails due to an issue on their end (like a website being unavailable or a blocking issue), you are not charged for that attempt. The platform will retry with its proxy and rendering systems to ensure you get your data, and you only pay when you receive a successful, complete response.

Can I request a new API for a website not listed?

Absolutely! The team at CrawlKit is focused on expanding their coverage. If you need structured data from a platform or website they don't currently support, you can talk to them directly. They offer to build custom APIs to meet specific customer needs, making the platform adaptable to your unique data requirements.

Is there a free tier to try it out?

Yes, you can start completely free. CrawlKit offers 100 free credits to new users so you can test the API, explore the different endpoints, and integrate it into a proof-of-concept without any financial commitment. This allows you to verify the data quality and reliability before purchasing more credits.

CrawlKit uses a simple, pay-as-you-go credit system. You start with 100 free credits. When ready to upgrade, you purchase credit packs that offer volume discounts. For example, a one-time purchase of $24 gives you 25,000 credits. Larger packs like 100K, 250K, and 500K credits are available at progressively lower costs per credit. All plans include unlimited API calls, access to all endpoints, built-in proxy rotation, and credits that never expire. You are only charged for successful requests, with transparent pricing per endpoint (e.g., $0.004 for a LinkedIn profile call).
