About Zyte
Zyte (the company behind Scrapy) is a web data extraction platform built around its Zyte API — an AI-driven scraping endpoint that handles proxies, headless browsers, anti-bot bypassing, and automatic retries behind a single call. Rather than selling raw proxy bandwidth, Zyte abstracts the entire unblocking problem: you pass a URL, it returns structured data or rendered HTML, and usage is billed per successful request. The platform is the default choice for engineering teams that already use Scrapy and want a managed infrastructure for large-scale extraction without running their own proxy rotation or headless browser farm.

- Deepest integration with Scrapy — the de facto Python scraping framework
- AI-powered automatic extraction eliminates selector maintenance on product/article pages
