Gaffa
Gaffa is a comprehensive REST API designed for browser automation, allowing developers to efficiently control authentic, full browsers with just one API call, which removes the complexities of managing headless-browser frameworks, proxies, and scaling infrastructure. By default, it effectively manages JavaScript rendering, ensuring that web pages load precisely as they would for an actual user, and it accommodates a wide array of automation tasks, including web scraping, taking screenshots, exporting content to PDF, transforming pages into clean Markdown suitable for LLMs, infinite-scroll scraping of dynamic websites, filling out forms, capturing complete page screenshots, and archiving content for offline access. Additionally, Gaffa boasts a rotating residential proxy network that guarantees dependable access from various geographic locations, incorporates automatic CAPTCHA handling when necessary, and operates on a credit-based usage model, where costs are determined by actual browser execution time and bandwidth, making scaling and budget management significantly easier. With its robust features and user-friendly design, Gaffa streamlines the browser automation process for developers across different industries.
