Compare Gaffa vs. ScrapBot

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.

ScrapBot is capable of navigating through websites, authenticating users, and extracting as well as inserting data seamlessly. Utilizing JavaScript for task execution, it eliminates the need for server installations or additional software. The system provides real-time visibility of all navigation activities within its user interface, allowing users to monitor interactions. The main.js script runs in a distinct frame separate from the navigation frame, yet it retains the ability to access the complete content of the page without any limitations. This design ensures both efficiency and transparency in data handling processes.
