# Introduction

> ScrapeUnblocker is anti-bot bypass infrastructure for scraping any URL. Three endpoints, one API key, no proxy management.

## What is ScrapeUnblocker?

ScrapeUnblocker is a proxy and anti-bot bypass service that handles the hard parts of web scraping for you: Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai, hCaptcha challenges, residential rotation, browser fingerprinting, and origin-side blocks.

You send a URL. We route it through the right bypass chain - custom domain plugins, super-profile browser, residential proxies, fallback providers - and return the page content. No proxy lists, no headless browser fleet, no fingerprint maintenance.

<Note>
  Prefer not to write code? The [No-code area](/no-code/overview) lets you describe what you want in plain language and emails you the results as CSV or JSON.

## What's in the API

Three public endpoints. That's the whole surface area.

    Return HTML for any URL. Or set `parsed_data=true` to get structured JSON extracted via Schema.org, `__NEXT_DATA__`, or AI-generated rules.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="You send a URL">
    `POST` to one of three endpoints with your API key in the `x-scrapeunblocker-key` header.
  </Step>

  <Step title="We route through the right bypass">
    The service picks the cheapest path that works for the target domain - direct, residential proxy, stealth browser, or upstream fallback.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You get the content back">
    HTML, parsed JSON, SERP data, or image bytes. No retry loops, no proxy rotation logic on your end.
  </Step>
</Steps>
