How it works

03
Get your HTML
Receive clean, full-page HTML. Pay only for successful responses.
Why FlareCrawl
We handle the hard stuff.
Anti-bot bypass

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is FlareCrawl?
A fully managed API that fetches HTML from any website — including pages protected by anti-bot systems, CAPTCHAs, and JavaScript rendering. One call, one result.
How is it different from running my own scraper?
FlareCrawl handles proxies, IP rotation, browser fingerprinting, CAPTCHA solving, and retry logic automatically. You send a URL, we return HTML.
What data do I get back?
The API returns raw full-page HTML. You can parse and transform it however you need downstream — feed it to an LLM, extract structured data, or store it.
Do I get charged for failed requests?
No. Only successful page fetches consume credits. If the page can't be retrieved, you pay nothing.
How does authentication work?
Sign up with Google or GitHub. Create an API key in the dashboard. For CLI and SDK, run a login command that opens a browser approval flow — no manual token copying.
Is there a free tier?
Yes — 500 credits on sign-up, no card required. Enough to test the API and see real results.
