I'm doing a lot of scraping these days, for lead generation (eg on the back of Twittee Twittee ).
Exploring scraping APIs now to see if I can get better results (many websites where I can't get results) and avoid the time/pain of rotating VPNs.

Enthusiast plan at $19 for 100k calls seems to be the most interesting price/value ratio. But double credit:
By default, each request costs 10 API credits because JavaScript rendering and Standard proxies are enabled.
Free to start, so testing now.
