ScrapeNinja returns raw HTML or requires custom extraction rules. Scrapernode returns clean, structured JSON with named fields for every social platform — no parsing needed.
Instead of one generic scraping API, Scrapernode provides 40 dedicated scrapers optimized for specific platforms and data types — profiles, posts, comments, and more.
ScrapeNinja requires you to write CSS selectors or custom extraction logic. Scrapernode handles all parsing internally — just provide a URL and get structured data back.
ScrapeNinja can fetch any URL but can't access authenticated social platforms. Scrapernode handles authentication for LinkedIn, Instagram, and other gated platforms.
