We make web scraping work.
We're a small, focused team building developer tools at RapierCraft Studios. We believe in honest pricing, transparent documentation, and support from people who understand the product.
Built from frustration.
We started AlterLab because we kept running into the same problem: every time we needed web data for a project, we spent more time fighting infrastructure than building the actual product.
Broken proxies, blocked requests, services that looked great in demos but fell apart at scale. We decided to build the tool we wished existed—one that just works, with honest pricing and real support.
Today, AlterLab serves developers and businesses who need reliable web data without the operational headaches.
"We're a product company, not a venture-backed growth machine. That means we can focus on making something good."
Our principles
No lock-in
Standard REST APIs. Export your data anytime. Leave when you want.
Transparent pricing
You see exactly what each request costs. No surprises on your bill.
Honest documentation
We tell you what works, what doesn't, and where we're still improving.
Fast support
Real humans respond. Usually within hours, not days.
Why we're different
We're upfront about what works. Some sites are harder to scrape than others—we'll tell you success rates and won't promise what we can't deliver.
Every customer matters. Bug reports get read, feature requests get considered, and support tickets get real responses from people who understand the product.
We're building for the long term—focused on making something reliable rather than chasing growth metrics.
