Overview
Zyte is best known for taking on the hardest parts of web data collection for enterprise customers. Its Smart Proxy Manager and Zyte API intelligently select the right combination of headless browsers, proxy pools, and request fingerprints to avoid blocking on even the trickiest sites. For teams that want a partner instead of a toolkit, Zyte’s managed services build and operate crawlers under strict SLAs, handling monitoring, maintenance, and quality assurance. Legal and compliance specialists work alongside engineers to review project scopes, collect consent documentation, and ensure activity fits within the customer’s risk appetite. Extensive experience with ecommerce, travel, and marketplace data means Zyte can deliver highly customized pipelines feeding directly into warehouses or APIs. Insightful dashboards surface delivery metrics, issue trends, and historical run logs so stakeholders always know the health of their programs.
Zyte (formerly Scrapinghub) combines a smart browser, proxy management, and fully managed data delivery services.
