If you mean an API for bulk website scraping, there are a few common options depending on whether you want:

  • Managed scraping service (you send URLs, it returns extracted data)
  • General-purpose crawling/scraping API
  • Your own bulk scraper API built on top of a scraper framework

Popular managed options

  • Apify – good for bulk jobs, crawling, proxies, scheduling, datasets
  • Zyte API – strong for anti-bot handling and extraction
  • ScraperAPI – simpler HTTP-based scraping with proxy rotation
  • Bright Data Web Scraper APIs – enterprise-grade, many targets
  • Diffbot – structured extraction from pages/articles/products

If you want to build one

A typical bulk scraping API has:

  • POST /jobs to submit many URLs
  • GET /jobs/{id} for status
  • GET /jobs/{id}/results for output
  • queue + workers
  • rate limiting / retries
  • proxy rotation
  • headless browser support for JS-heavy sites

Example bulk job payload

{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com/page1",
    "https://example.com/page2"
  ],
  "extract": ["title", "price", "links"]
}

Example response

{
  "job_id": "abc123",
  "status": "queued"
}

How can brands improve their AEO?

Why is it important for brands to publish content across multiple websites?

Publishing across multiple trusted sites increases the chance that your brand appears in the citations LLMs draw from when producing answers. Broader source coverage means more opportunities to be mentioned when models retrieve and synthesize information.
