The scraping API that picks the right engine for every site.
DreamScrape routes each request through the cheapest tier that works — plain HTTP, stealth browser, or anti-detect Firefox. Credits match the real cost, so you pay for what you actually need.
Your request finds the cheapest path
Send a URL. Our router checks what has worked for that domain before and starts with the fastest, cheapest engine. If it gets blocked, it escalates automatically.
HTTP
Most usedPlain fetch with JA4 TLS fingerprint
Stealth Browser
Headless Chromium + fingerprint injection
Anti-detect Firefox
Patched Firefox with C++ fingerprinting
You get clean markdown, metadata, and timing info back — regardless of which engine handled it. One API, zero engine config.

Built different
Every feature exists because we hit the problem ourselves.
Smart Routing
Automatically picks HTTP, stealth browser, or anti-detect Firefox per domain. Learns from every scrape and gets smarter over time.
Actionable Errors
Every failure tells you exactly why and what to try next. 11 block reasons with specific fixes. No more guessing at 403s.
Cost Control
Free tier for simple sites. Only pay when you need browser engines. Most sites work on the cheapest tier — we prove it.
CAPTCHA Detection
Automatically detects captcha pages and returns a clear error instead of garbage HTML. Optional auto-solve with vision AI.
Sub-200ms HTTP
JA4 TLS fingerprinting makes plain HTTP requests look like real Chrome. Most sites never need a browser.
Usage Transparency
Every response shows which engine tier served it and how long it took. Your cost is never a surprise.

How credits work
DreamScrape uses credits instead of flat request counts because not every scrape costs the same. A simple HTTP scrape is fractions of a cent. An anti-detect Firefox session costs hundreds of times more. Our router picks the cheapest engine that works, and you only use credits for what you actually need.
| Engine tier | Credits | Example domains |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP | 1 | Hacker News, GitHub API |
| JA4 HTTP | 1 | Basketball Reference, HLTV |
| Stealth browser | 5 | JS-heavy SPAs, React dashboards |
| Anti-detect Firefox | 25 | Cloudflare Enterprise, DexScreener |
| + Residential proxy | +10 | Geo-restricted or IP-reputation sites |
| + CAPTCHA solve | +5 | Sites with hCaptcha or Turnstile |
Most DreamScrape users spend 80%+ of their credits on Tier 0, which means your Starter plan effectively covers 15,000+ real-world scrapes — not the 5,000 a flat-rate competitor would give you. The router's efficiency becomes your savings, not our margin.
