Us:


ScrapingBee is a web scraping API that simplifies the extraction of data from the web. The company was founded in 2019 by Pierre de Wulf and Kevin Sahin. After funding in 2020 by TinySeed, ScrapingBee is profitable and growing strongly. The team consists of the two founders, as well as Etienne: lead developer, Camille: web scraping engineer and Nizar support engineer and chief of support.


Support has always been a key differentiating factor between ScrapingBee and its competitor, and we need help to delight our 1000+ customers.
