Geekflare

Web scraping, search, and screenshot API in one.

Visit Geekflare

Geekflare is a suite of web data APIs that returns structured results for scraping, search, screenshots, metadata extraction, DNS lookups, redirect tracing, PDF generation, and related network and SEO checks. It handles proxies, headless browsers, JavaScript rendering, CAPTCHA solving, and anti-bot handling so callers receive usable output rather than raw page markup.

The suite includes Web Scraping, Search, Screenshot, Meta Scraping, DNS Lookup, Redirect Checker, PDF Generator, Lighthouse, TLS/SSL Scan, Port Scanner, and other endpoints, all sharing one API key and one credit pool. It connects through an MCP server for clients such as Claude, Cursor, and Codex, no-code platforms including Zapier, Make, and n8n, typed Python and Node.js SDKs, and plain REST. A dashboard provides API keys, request logs, and a playground for testing endpoints.

Geekflare is aimed at developers, AI agents, and automation workflows. A free plan provides monthly credits without a card, with paid subscription tiers offering larger allowances, more team members, longer log retention, and higher rate limits. One-time credit packs are also available, and an enterprise option covers custom volumes and rate limits.
