ScrapingBee, routed
through gottem.

ScrapingBee is a straightforward scraping API with JS rendering and premium proxy options, a reliable, low-drama workhorse for the easy-to-medium band of the web. gottem routes it across three rungs: basic, JS-rendered, and residential-premium.

ScrapingBee routes, what they cost.

Each row is a routable id in the engine. The price is what gottem bills per successful page on that route. That is gottem's price, not ScrapingBee's list price. The full Cost Ladder has every vendor side by side.

When the ladder picks ScrapingBee.

scrapingbee.basic shares the $0.0010 entry rung, so plain pages often land there. The ladder escalates to scrapingbee.js for JavaScript-heavy pages and scrapingbee.premium when residential IPs are needed, or fails over to another vendor entirely if ScrapingBee is having a bad day on that domain.

Pin ScrapingBee when you need it.

By default picks the route; pass force_provider when a workflow needs ScrapingBee specifically, for parity testing, compliance, or vendor-native options via provider_options.

Already pay ScrapingBee directly?

Bring your own key. Add your ScrapingBee credential once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and routes through your account instead of the pooled key. You pay ScrapingBee directly; gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup. See the pricing FAQ for how BYOK billing works.

Questions.

Is gottem a ScrapingBee alternative?
No. gottem isn't a replacement for ScrapingBee. It routes through ScrapingBee alongside 13+ other scraping vendors and picks it whenever it's the best fit for the page. If you already use ScrapingBee, gottem adds automatic failover, per-domain routing memory, and one response shape on top of it.
What does ScrapingBee cost per page through gottem?
ScrapingBee's routes run from $0.0010 to $0.0075 a page depending on the rung. Those are gottem's prices for a successful page. Failed attempts bill at the $0.000001 minimum, effectively free.
When is ScrapingBee the right vendor to pin?
Pin it (force_provider: "scrapingbee.basic") when you want predictable, low-cost fetches on sites you already know it handles, such as parity testing, monitoring, or compliance flows that require a fixed vendor.
Can I bring my own ScrapingBee key?
Yes. Add it once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and gottem routes through your ScrapingBee account: you pay ScrapingBee directly and gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup.
