Zyte, routed
through gottem.
Zyte (the company behind Scrapy) runs an ML-driven extraction API that decides per-request how to fetch a page: which proxy class, whether to render, how to beat the wall in front of it. In gottem's catalogue zyte.api is a single smart rung that handles a wide band of difficulty on its own.
Zyte 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 Zyte's list price. The full Cost Ladder has every vendor side by side.
| Route | Tier | Per page | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| zyte.api | T7 | $0.0080 | 80 cr |
When the ladder picks Zyte.
zyte.api sits at T7, just past the residential-proxy rungs: the ladder reaches it when a domain defeats the cheaper vendors but doesn't yet warrant a full remote browser. Because Zyte adapts vendor-side, it often resolves pages that would otherwise need two more escalation steps.
Pin Zyte when you need it.
By default picks the route; pass force_provider when a workflow needs Zyte specifically, for parity testing, compliance, or vendor-native options via provider_options.
curl -sS https://api.gottem.dev/scrape \

"url": "https://example.com",
"force_provider": "zyte.api"
}'Already pay Zyte directly?
Bring your own key. Add your Zyte credential once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and routes through your account instead of the pooled key. You pay Zyte directly; gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup. See the pricing FAQ for how BYOK billing works.
Questions.
- Is gottem a Zyte alternative?
- No. gottem isn't a replacement for Zyte. It routes through Zyte alongside 13+ other scraping vendors and picks it whenever it's the best fit for the page. If you already use Zyte, gottem adds automatic failover, per-domain routing memory, and one response shape on top of it.
- What does Zyte cost per page through gottem?
- Zyte's route (zyte.api) is listed at $0.0080 a page, which is gottem's price for a successful page on that route. Failed attempts bill at the $0.000001 minimum, effectively free.
- Do I need to configure anything for Zyte's smart fetching?
- No. zyte.api makes its own fetch decisions vendor-side. Anything vendor-specific you do want to set can be passed through verbatim in provider_options.
- Can I bring my own Zyte key?
- Yes. Add it once, AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and gottem routes through your Zyte account: you pay Zyte directly and gottem charges a flat infrastructure fee per request, zero markup.
