How to pay $0.80 per 1,000 pages

1. Create a key under Agents & API in the workspace. A new account gets $10 of credit, no card, which covers 12,500 pages.

2. Set the address to https://api.specstream.ai/scrapingbee/api/v1/ where your code has https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/, and send the SpecStream key as the Bearer token. In Python:

import requests

URL = "https://api.specstream.ai/scrapingbee/api/v1/"  # was https://app.scrapingbee.com/api/v1/

reply = requests.get(
    URL,
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SPECSTREAM_KEY}"},
    params={"url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping", "return_page_markdown": "true"},
    timeout=60,
)
reply.raise_for_status()
print(reply.text[:500])

3. With ScrapingBee's Python client, scrapingbee 2.2.0, set client.HTML_API_URL = "https://api.specstream.ai/scrapingbee/api/v1/" after the client is built, with a SpecStream key as api_key. client.html_api(url) runs as before.

4. Read 429 as a call to send again after Retry-After. It is not charged.

How many credits does a ScrapingBee request use?
1 to 75. 1 with no JavaScript, 5 with JavaScript, which is the default, 10 or 25 with premium proxies, and 75 with the stealth proxy. AI extraction adds 5.
Do ScrapingBee credits roll over?
No. API credits are valid for one month. SpecStream credit you buy never expires.
What does the ScrapingBee Google API cost?

What do 100,000 pages a month cost on ScrapingBee?
$99 on Startup at the default 5 credits a page, which uses half of its 1,000,000 credits. With premium proxies and JavaScript it is 2,500,000 credits, Business at $249. On SpecStream 100,000 pages cost $80.
Does ScrapingBee charge for failed requests?
For some. A 404 or 410 from the target page is billed and a 500 is not. On SpecStream a page that cannot be read costs nothing, and so does a page with no main text.
