Use Case
Stop juggling PhantomBuster, Apify, and RapidAPI across client projects. Scrapernode gives you a single API for 11 platforms — social, B2B, and review sites — with per-result billing you can pass straight to clients.
Challenges teams face without Scrapernode
Every client needs a different scraping tool. LinkedIn from PhantomBuster, Instagram from Apify, TikTok from a RapidAPI endpoint. Each with its own auth, rate limits, and response format.
PhantomBuster charges per phantom per month, not per result. If a client needs 200 scrapes but the phantom costs $69/mo, you either eat the margin or overcharge.
Free and cheap scrapers break constantly. You get panicked Slack messages from clients at 2am because workflows failed. Hours of unpaid debugging follow.
All clients share your scraping tool credentials. Hit rate limits on Client A and Client B's workflow also fails.
How Scrapernode solves this
LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, YouTube, Facebook, Indeed, Glassdoor, Yelp, GitHub, Crunchbase — same HTTP Request node, same response shape. Only the scraper slug changes.
Credits consumed per job map directly to client deliverables. Buy a credit pack, allocate per client, invoice with a clear breakdown.
When Instagram changes its markup, Scrapernode updates the scraper. Your n8n workflows keep running without intervention.
