The API-First Alternative to Apify

No platform complexity

AlterLab is a pure API. No actors to find, fork, or maintain. No platform-specific SDKs or runtime environments. Just HTTP requests and JSON responses.

Predictable costs

AlterLab charges per request, not per compute minute. You know exactly what a scraping job will cost before you run it.

Built-in anti-bot bypass

AlterLab handles proxy rotation, browser fingerprinting, and CAPTCHA solving automatically. No need to find or configure specialized actors for protected sites.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("apify/web-scraper").call(
    run_input={
        "startUrls": [{"url": "https://example.com"}],
        "pageFunction": "async function({ request, page }) { ... }"
    }
)

import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.alterlab.io/v1/scrape",
    headers={"X-API-Key": "YOUR_KEY"},
    json={
        "url": "https://example.com",
        "render_js": True,
        "extract": {"title": "h1", "price": ".price"}
    }
)
