## Overview

Managed scraping APIs handle the painful parts of web extraction for you:
headless browsers at scale, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript
rendering, and structured extraction — behind a simple HTTP API. You trade
per-request cost for zero infrastructure. This skill covers when that trade
makes sense and how to use such services well, without depending on any
single vendor.

## When to use

- Deciding between self-hosted scraping and a managed API
- Evaluating scraping-API providers (features, pricing, reliability)
- Designing extraction schemas for structured output
