Introducing the next-generation Web Unblocker

Last updated: 7 May 2025

Today, we’re excited to share the official launch of our redesigned, rebuilt, and ready-for-AI Web Unblocker. This update delivers major improvement in reliability, data flexibility, and ease of use for companies running data-intensive projects, including those with AI and ML workflows.

If your operations depend on high-quality web data, you’ll know that blocked scrapers, messy data, and complex maintenance can disrupt your pipelines and make your projects unsustainable. Web Unblocker is designed to eliminate these headaches and provide uncompromised access to the web data you need.

What is Web Unblocker?

Web Unblocker is a turnkey solution for web data collection at any scale, putting an end to IP bans, CAPTCHAs, WAF blocks, and blank responses. It’s a powerful, automated API that gives you reliable, real-time access to public web data – even from sites that use aggressive bot defenses. It manages everything for you behind the scenes, including:

  • Proxy rotation
  • TLS spoofing
  • CAPTCHA handling
  • JavaScript rendering
  • Session persistence

Web Unblocker gives you clean, complete page data in the format you need (HTML, JSON, Markdown, XHR, or screenshots), without needing to build and maintain your own scraping infrastructure. It’s built to support demanding use cases like price monitoring, market intelligence, content aggregation, and AI/ML model training – where data accuracy, availability, and compliance matter.

What’s changed?

Historically, data teams and engineers have lost a lot of time and budget to proxy rotation scripts, headless browser farms, and CAPTCHA-solving services. They needed a plug-and-play solution that simply works day in and day out, no matter how advanced a website’s anti-bot systems are. With our latest release, Web Unblocker delivers:

  • 99.9% uptime: We’ve doubled down on our infrastructure to deliver near-perfect success rates. Even for websites that are notoriously difficult to scrape, Web Unblocker delivers reliable and predictable results.
  • New output modes: In addition to raw HTML and JSON, you can now request Markdown, XHR, and browser-quality screenshots - perfect for AI-driven workflows, visual QA, or lightweight reporting.
  • Advanced behavioral emulation: Our upgraded TLS/fingerprint rotation and mouse-movement simulation defeat the latest WAFs (including Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva, and Datadome) and invisible CAPTCHAs without third-party solving.
  • Deeper session persistence: Full cookie and local-storage handling lets you navigate SPAs and multi-step flows, and captures behind-the-scenes XHR calls with zero code changes.

Benefits for data-driven teams

We’ve overhauled Web Unblocker to meet the evolving demands of data-driven teams. These improvements translate directly into significant advantages for your workflows.

Faster time-to-insight

Get cleaner data, faster, significantly cutting down preparation time and accelerating your AI model training cycles. By directly feeding your models high-quality, complete, and timely data from Web Unblocker, you drive more accurate predictions and achieve better overall outcomes from your AI initiatives.

Reduced infrastructure friction

Minimize disruptions caused by blocked requests and complex maintenance. Fewer timeouts and reliable data delivery mean your pipelines run smoothly, freeing up valuable engineering resources. Integrating Web Unblocker is also straightforward – quickly connect it into your existing stack (including tools like Airflow, dbt, and major cloud providers) using our flexible REST API, simplifying both setup and ongoing management of your data workflows.

Scale efficiently with predictable costs

Avoid the complexities and unpredictable expenses of scaling in-house scrapers. Web Unblocker automatically handles proxies, browser emulation, JS rendering, and retries on reliable infrastructure built for millions of requests. We have a straightforward pricing structure that scales with your usage to ensure clear TCO management.

This, combined with operational savings from fewer retries and significantly reduced maintenance time, allows you to reinvest valuable engineering resources and budget into core AI development and strategic initiatives, driving better business outcomes faster.

Integrate seamlessly into your stack

You can quickly integrate Web Unblocker into your existing stack (including tools like Airflow, dbt, and major cloud providers) using our flexible REST API, simplifying both setup and ongoing management of your data workflows.

Reduce compliance risks

Operate with greater confidence knowing Web Unblocker is fully compliant with GDPR and CCPA, uses only ethically sourced proxies, and is pursuing SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certifications to support responsible data collection.

Getting started with Web Unblocker
