Proxyway draws a line in the sand between Web Scraping and Proxy APIs – Zyte comes out on top

In Proxyway’s latest study, the industry’s leading Web Scraping APIs and Proxy APIs were put to the test on success rate, speed and cost. The results? Zyte API came out on top, performing at top levels across all three key metrics and setting a new standard in web data access technology.

Part 1: The Unblocker Test

For many, the need for an unblocker API is straightforward: handle complex website restrictions, work around anti-bot measures, and get access to the data you need, fast and reliably. Proxyway’s research makes one thing clear—if that’s your goal, Zyte is the best choice out there.

• Success Rate: Zyte achieved one of the highest success rates in the study, outperforming other providers in consistently accessing sites without errors. This means Zyte is dependable, getting the job done without compromising on performance, so businesses don’t have to worry about failed data requests.

• Speed: Data retrieval speed is where Zyte really shines. Proxyway dubbed Zyte a “speed demon” for its ability to maintain high performance without slowing down, even on the toughest sites. This makes it the go-to choice for businesses needing real-time or near-real-time data.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Zyte's dynamic pricing model adapts to the complexity of each target, ensuring you pay only for the resources necessary. This approach makes Zyte exceptionally affordable for unblocking tasks, as highlighted in Proxyway's study. Whether you're accessing straightforward sites or tackling more challenging ones, Zyte provides a comprehensive API that balances performance and cost, eliminating the need for trade-offs.

Proxyway’s study makes it clear: Zyte doesn’t require users to sacrifice success rate, speed, or cost. It’s the only API robust enough to handle the toughest sites while remaining affordable for simpler needs. This flexibility alone makes Zyte a powerhouse among unblockers.

Part 2: More than an Unblocker – Zyte’s End-to-End Extraction Capabilities

Once Zyte has unlocked a website, it doesn’t stop there. While many APIs can unblock sites, Zyte goes a step further by offering full data extraction, parsing, and formatting to deliver structured, ready-to-use data right from the start. This is a critical difference for those seeking more than access: Zyte handles everything from proxy management and ban avoidance to complex data parsing in one seamless solution.

Zyte’s API gives you the full package, tackling JavaScript-heavy content, scaling proxies automatically, and adapting to anti-bot defenses on the fly. And let’s not overlook Zyte’s commitment to ethical web scraping—scraping responsibly is embedded in the product, helping users stay compliant and considerate while accessing the data they need.

The Bottom Line: Zyte Delivers the Best of Both Worlds

For businesses that want a flexible, powerful unblocker or need a robust, end-to-end data extraction solution, Zyte delivers. Proxyway’s study confirms Zyte’s top spot as the most reliable, high-performing, and cost-effective choice among unblockers. And for those who need more than just solving bans, Zyte’s comprehensive extraction capabilities make it the go-to solution for hassle-free, structured data.

Whether you’re after a fast, reliable unblocker or looking for a tool that handles every step of the scraping process, Zyte’s API has got you covered. As Proxyway’s findings reveal, Zyte isn’t just a tool—it’s a competitive advantage for businesses serious about efficient, cost-effective web scraping.
