Getting started
Pick a product, create your account, start the free trial and make your first request.
- Which Datafuel product do I need?If you run your own scraper, you need proxies; if you want the data without running a scraper, you need a scraping API. Both run on the same network, and one account gives you both.
- Create your account and verify your emailRegistration takes two minutes at dashboard.datafuel.ai/register: sign up with Google, LinkedIn or GitHub, or enter your name, email and a password. No credit card is needed.
- Start the free trialThere are two trials: the scraping API free plan, 1,000 credits that you activate yourself in one click, and the proxy trial, 100 MB of residential traffic that a person approves in the chat. Neither needs a credit card.
- Your first proxy request in five minutesOpen Residential Proxy, generate one proxy line, paste it into curl, and read the IP that comes back. That is the whole first request.
- Your first scraping API call in five minutesRun a page in the Playground first, then send the same request to https://scraping-api.datafuel.ai/api/v1/task with the key from Scraping API → Settings. Both return the page as Markdown.
