Browser tooling

Use ScrapeUnblocker with Playwright

Running Playwright against protected sites means maintaining browsers, fingerprints and proxies, and still hitting Cloudflare or DataDome walls. ScrapeUnblocker does the hard rendering on its side and hands you the finished HTML, so you can drop the brittle browser automation for the pages that keep getting blocked and keep Playwright for the flows that genuinely need it.

Example

# Fetch the rendered HTML, then parse it however you like

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.scrapeunblocker.com/getPageSource",
    params={"url": "https://www.example.com"},
    headers={"X-ScrapeUnblocker-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"},
)

# Fully rendered, unblocked HTML - no local browser needed
soup = BeautifulSoup(resp.text, "html.parser")
print(soup.title.string)

How it works

  1. Identify the pages where Playwright keeps getting blocked or is too slow.
  2. Replace that navigation with a single call to the getPageSource endpoint.
  3. Our browser renders the page and clears the anti-bot challenge server-side.
  4. You get the final HTML back - parse it exactly as you would a Playwright page.dump.

What you get

  • No local browser fleet to run, scale or keep undetected.
  • Anti-bot bypass for Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX and Akamai.
  • Rendered HTML back in one request - drop it straight into your parser.
  • Keep Playwright for real interaction; offload the blocked fetches here.
