Looking for ready-to-use web scraping code? Our scrapers give you a solid base, so you don’t have to build from scratch. Simply choose the pages to load, define how to extract data, and run your scrapers via UI or API.
Start off with startURLs, follow page links with a Link selector or indicate Pseudo-URLs and extract data into a dataset with pageFunction Use these web scraping boilerplates for faster development of your data extraction or web automation solutions.
Let’s pick a boilerplate for you
A list of generic, universal scrapers suited for different libraries, browsers, and frameworks.

Why do test results from some websites not match the region or data I expected?
Different websites use different data sources, IP detection methods, and update frequencies. Some platforms may show an outdated or inaccurate region. Xcrawl's Web Scraper API and proxy rotation system rely on top-tier IP data providers but results may vary across services. If a detection result looks abnormal, please verify using multiple sources or contact our support team.
Does Xcrawl restrict traffic or request volume for each plan?
Each plan includes a specific number of monthly API credits. As long as your usage remains within your credit limit, there are no additional restrictions on scraping speed, data volume, or concurrency. Higher-tier plans provide more credits and higher concurrency limits.
Can Xcrawl scrape JavaScript-rendered or dynamic websites?
Yes. Xcrawl supports full JavaScript rendering and browser simulation, allowing the Web Scraper API to scrape dynamic pages, SPA sites, infinite scrolling pages, and content behind client-side scripts.
Does Xcrawl support anti-bot evasion and CAPTCHA handling?
Xcrawl includes automated anti-bot evasion with rotating fingerprints, residential IPs, smart retries, and browser emulation. CAPTCHA-heavy sites are handled through built-in bypass strategies whenever possible.
Can I use Xcrawl for SEO, SERP monitoring, and keyword research?
Yes. Xcrawl's SERP API provides structured Google and Bing search results ideal for SEO analysis, keyword tracking, competitor monitoring, and SERP data extraction at scale.
Does Xcrawl support social media scraping?
Yes. Xcrawl can extract posts, comments, videos, profiles, and engagement metrics from platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, and more—depending on your plan.
