ZenRows is a web scraping API that helps users extract data from websites by handling anti-bot techniques like headless browser detection, rotating IPs, JavaScript rendering, and limited CAPTCHA handling.

ZenRows handles many scraping blockers using browser simulation, header spoofing, retries, and IP rotation to scrape difficult sites more easily.

Yes. It abstracts much of the complexity of scraping behind a single API endpoint. However, real-world results depend on target site complexity and CAPTCHA presence.

Pricing starts at \$49/month, but users have reported a 0/5 satisfaction due to high failure rates on modern sites with CAPTCHA gates or behavioral bot detection.

No.ZenRows uses evasion and retry logic to avoid CAPTCHAs, but it does not solve them unless you manually integrate a CAPTCHA solver like 2Captcha—and even that has limited reliability.

Sites with reCAPTCHA, image CAPTCHAs, or JavaScript-based bot trapsca nnot be bypassed reliably with ZenRows alone. The retries loop fails, returning incomplete or empty data.

CaptchaAI solves reCAPTCHA v2/v3 and image CAPTCHAs reliably, letting you pair it with ZenRows for full coverage. This is **essential for scraping forms or login-protected pages** that ZenRows can’t handle natively.

Use ZenRows to fetch the CAPTCHA or challenge token, then send it to CaptchaAI’s API (`https://ocr.captchaai.com/in.php`) using `method=base64` or `method=userrecaptcha`, and inject the response into your ZenRows request.

Not on its own. It handles basic evasion and scraping well, but falls short on CAPTCHA solving, fingerprinting, and smart form handling without external services like CaptchaAI.

Only if paired with CaptchaAI. Otherwise, it struggles with modern websites that enforce CAPTCHAs, rate limiting, and behavioral tracking—limiting the effectiveness of your scrapers.
