Compare FetchLayer vs. Gaffa

FetchLayer is an API designed for web scraping that provides developers, AI agents, researchers, and businesses with organized data sourced from social media and well-known websites, alleviating the need to oversee scrapers, proxies, blocks, or rate limits. This tool streamlines the process of obtaining data, making it easier for users to focus on their projects without the technical hassles typically associated with web scraping.

Gaffa is a REST API built for web scraping and browser automation, allowing developers to run real, full browsers at scale with a single API call. It removes the difficulty of managing headless browser frameworks, rotating proxies, CAPTCHA solving, and scaling infrastructure, all of which are handled automatically. JavaScript-heavy and dynamic websites render exactly as they would for a human visitor by default. Beyond standard scraping, Gaffa supports AI-driven structured data extraction (extract data into a defined schema without writing CSS selectors), screenshot and PDF capture, infinite-scroll and form-filling automation, and clean Markdown conversion for feeding webpages directly into LLM and RAG pipelines. A rotating residential proxy network keeps access reliable across regions, and a credit-based pricing model means teams pay only for the browser time and bandwidth they actually use. Gaffa is designed for AI engineers, data teams, and developers who want production-grade web data extraction without having to build and maintain their own infrastructure.
