StealthASF vs. Gaffa

StealthASF provides a web-scraping API specifically designed for developers and data teams, allowing them to extract content from multiple websites through automated scripts and data pipelines. Users can simply enter page URLs to retrieve either the unprocessed HTML or targeted data elements such as links, text, images, tables, metadata, and headings. The API accommodates a variety of request methods, which include basic HTTP fetching, browser requests capable of executing JavaScript, and sophisticated fetching techniques to overcome anti-bot defenses. In its automatic mode, the API initiates with a standard request but can dynamically adapt and escalate its approach if it encounters any restrictions from a website. Additionally, the service offers users valuable insights regarding request status and credit usage, permits targeting of specific countries based on certain plans, and includes an intuitive dashboard for overseeing API access. This versatile tool is frequently employed for the collection of public web content to aid in monitoring, facilitate research, and support downstream data analysis. Moreover, its flexibility and robust features render it an indispensable resource for any data-driven initiative that necessitates efficient web information retrieval, enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of data collection processes.

Gaffa is an API for web scraping and browser automation that gives developers control over real, full browsers with a single request, no headless-browser setup, proxy management, or infrastructure scaling required. Pages render with full JavaScript support by default, matching exactly what a real user would see. The platform covers the full range of automation needs: scraping, AI-powered data extraction into structured JSON using custom schemas, full-page screenshots, PDF export, infinite-scroll scraping, automated form filling, and converting webpages into clean Markdown for AI and LLM workflows. Reliability is built in through a rotating residential proxy network and automatic CAPTCHA and anti-bot handling, so requests succeed even against protected sites. Pricing follows a transparent, credit-based model tied to browser execution time and bandwidth, making costs predictable as usage scales. Gaffa is aimed at AI engineers, data-driven teams, and developers who need dependable, large-scale web data without the overhead of running their own scraping infrastructure.
