Editorial analysis

How to choose a scraping stack

Most teams over-index on per-request price and under-index on success rate maintenance. A cheap API that breaks weekly on your top domains is expensive in engineering time.

Start from your target class: static list pages, heavy JS apps, or large-scale crawl maps. Then decide whether you need bundled proxies, rendering, or only raw HTTP with your own egress.

Pilot with realistic concurrency, retries, and alerting before you wire billing into production pipelines.
