Looking for a ScrapingBee alternative?

Request-based scraping APIs return a rendered page for a URL. Xymotrone runs a persistent, managed Chrome session you can drive step by step — useful when a task needs logins, multi-page flows or JavaScript-heavy interaction rather than a single fetch.

Publicly available data only · GDPR-aligned handling · DPA available · rate-limiting controls built in

Sessions, not single requests

A run holds cookies and storage across many pages, so log-in, navigate, filter and export all happen in one browser instead of stateless calls.

Bring your own proxy network

Attach the residential, ISP or datacenter provider you already contract with. Pools rotate per session and exit IP is verified before the run starts.

Fingerprint consistency management

Locale, timezone, viewport, WebGL and canvas signals stay coherent with the exit IP for the whole session.

Agent mode for changing layouts

An LLM can read the page and pick the next action, so a redesign does not immediately break a brittle selector chain.

A record you can hand to review

Every step, screenshot, exit IP and timing is retained against the run for audit and debugging.

Paperwork ready

DPA available on request. Publicly available data only, with concurrency ceilings enforced server-side.

Questions people ask

How do I extract data from JavaScript-heavy sites?

Render the page in a real browser rather than parsing raw HTML. Xymotrone runs Chrome with JavaScript enabled, waits for the content you name, and can interact with the page before reading it.

Can I keep using my own proxy provider?

Yes — that is the default. Add HTTP, HTTPS or SOCKS5 endpoints, test them, and group them into pools that rotate per session.

Is this only for scraping?

No. The same managed browser fleet is used for ad verification, SERP monitoring, QA and visual regression, and any workflow that needs programmatic access to public pages.
