We're not just another web scraping API

As a developer, you've likely worked with scraping APIs that can unblock HTML but fall short when it comes to extracting structured data — the very reason you build most of your scripts. Minexa solves both sides of this in a single platform: advanced unblocking and intelligent, deterministic data extraction from any website.

Here is why Minexa stands out for developers.


1. No CSS selectors. No XPath. No schema design.

Most scraping APIs stop at delivering raw HTML and leave the hard part to you: inspecting the page, writing selectors, handling edge cases, and maintaining it all when the site changes.

With Minexa, that step is gone entirely. You point to the HTML container holding the data you want, and Minexa automatically identifies every relevant data point inside it. Column labels are generated automatically. The output is clean, structured JSON — ready to use without any parsing logic on your end.


Train a scraper once in the browser extension. Get a scraper_id. Use it forever in every API call. One POST request, structured JSON out.


2. Pagination, JavaScript rendering, and proxies handled automatically

Other APIs make you configure JavaScript rendering, choose proxies, and handle pagination manually for every site you target.

Minexa handles all of this in the background. It detects whether JavaScript rendering is needed, selects the right proxy and provider, and follows pagination across next page buttons, infinite scroll, and load more buttons — without any configuration from you. If you do need to tune settings for a particularly difficult site, the browser extension gives you ready-to-copy scenarios so you never have to read through documentation to figure out what to set.


3. Unblocks HTML where others fail

Most APIs struggle with aggressive anti-bot systems and leave you to troubleshoot failures. Minexa handles CAPTCHAs, dynamic content, geo-targeted pages, and JavaScript-heavy sites automatically. Zero configuration required.


4. Works on any website, any content type

Many extraction APIs only support a fixed catalog of websites maintained by their team. If your target site is not on the list, you are out of luck.

Minexa has no catalog. It creates a custom scraper for any page structure automatically. Whether you are targeting nested product listings, complex detail pages, multi-layer job boards, or entirely custom layouts — Minexa adapts without templates or predefined structures.

One scraper trained on one page type works across millions of structurally identical pages. The engineering effort does not grow with volume.


5. A scalable alternative to LLM-based extraction

A lot of "AI-powered" scrapers are LLM wrappers with token-based pricing that gets expensive fast. They also carry a real accuracy problem: when a page contains multiple similar values — two prices, two dates, two addresses — an LLM has to guess which is which. It doesn't always guess correctly, and it doesn't always tell you when it gets it wrong.


Minexa extraction is deterministic and DOM-based. Each column is tied to a specific position in the page structure. If a value is not on the page, the output is null — never a fabricated default. Same scraper, same page, same output every time. No temperature, no prompt drift, no silent errors accumulating across thousands of rows.

On cost: at 120,000 pages per month, the cheapest available LLM costs nearly 5x more than Minexa Startup on stripped HTML. On full HTML, that gap reaches 58x or more. Minexa's pricing is per page, not per token — page size is irrelevant.


What you get

A unified platform that replaces your entire scraping stack: crawling, rendering, extraction, and schema discovery in a single API call. No BeautifulSoup, no Selenium, no Scrapy, no custom selector maintenance.

Build once. Extract indefinitely.
