AI / ML

A simple API for web automation and scraping

Getting reliable web data at scale is tough and getting harder all the time. Gaffa provides an API that makes it simple again. Gaffa will take care of all the complexity like residential proxies, scaling, infrastructure, failures and data parsing so you can concentrate on your business and not fixing broken scraping pipelines. Using Gaffa's REST API you can send a single request to perform a huge number of actions like scrolling and clicking mimicking natural human browsing patterns as well as extracting page data as images, markdown, html or, using LLM, JSON. Because Gaffa is designed to work even against the hardest to scrape sites it also has a stealth mode which uses real browsers, solves CAPTCHAs and uses residential proxies to ensure you get the data you need with minimum stress.
