Introducing Evomi’s Managed Scraping Browser (Web Unblocker)

The Hidden Headaches of Modern Web Scraping

If you've ever tried to scrape data from a modern, JavaScript-heavy website, you know the drill. Simple HTTP requests with cURL or Python's Requests library just don't cut it anymore. The data you need is rendered client-side, hidden behind button clicks, or loaded asynchronously after you scroll. The solution? A headless browser, like Chromium, automated with a library like Playwright or Puppeteer.

It sounds great in theory. In practice, building and maintaining your own headless browser infrastructure is a journey into a world of pain. You start with one browser instance, but soon you need a fleet. Suddenly you're a systems administrator, juggling:

• Servers: Provisioning, configuring, and paying for VMs or cloud instances to run everything.

• Proxies: Integrating and rotating proxies to avoid getting blocked. Are they residential? Datacenter? Are they even working? It's a constant battle.

• Orchestration: Using Docker or Kubernetes to manage your browser containers, which is a full-time job in itself.

• Monitoring & Scaling: Keeping an eye on CPU, memory, and network usage, and trying to scale your fleet up or down without breaking the bank.

• Updates: Constantly patching browser versions, drivers (like ChromeDriver), and dependencies to keep up with security updates and website changes.

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) skyrockets. Your time, which should be spent on extracting valuable data, is instead spent on tedious infrastructure management. Let’s be honest, it's a massive distraction.

Meet Evomi's Managed Scraping Browser

What if you could get all the power of a headless browser without any of the operational nightmares? That's exactly why we built the Evomi Managed Scraping Browser.

In simple terms, it's a headless Chromium browser API, running on our global infrastructure. We handle everything for you: the hosting, the scaling, the updates, and—most importantly—the seamless integration with our premium proxy network. You get a powerful, always-on, and always-updated browser instance ready to connect to, without ever having to configure a server or manage a proxy list again.

Who Is This For?

We built this for developers and data teams who need to scrape dynamic, interactive websites but don't want the headache of running their own browser fleet. If you're wrestling with Single Page Applications (SPAs), login forms, "infinite scroll" pages, or any site that heavily relies on JavaScript, this is for you. It's the perfect way to offload the infrastructure burden and focus on what you do best: building data-driven products.

The Benefits: More Data, Less DevOps

Switching from a DIY setup to our cloud browser isn't just a small improvement; it's a fundamental change in how you approach web scraping. Here's what you gain:

• Zero Hosting or Maintenance: We run the browsers, we patch them, we keep them online. You can decommission your browser-related servers and containers for good.

• Effortless Scaling: Need to run one scrape or one thousand? The infrastructure scales automatically to meet your demand without you lifting a finger.

• Predictable Costs: Forget surprise cloud computing bills. Our pricing is straightforward and transparent, starting at just $24.99 per month. You pay a predictable fee for the service, not for every CPU cycle and gigabyte of RAM.

• Instant Onboarding: You can be up and running in minutes. There's no complex setup; just a single connection string.

• Full Playwright & Puppeteer Compatibility: Use the tools you already know and love. Your existing scripts can be pointed to our service with a one-line change.

How It Works: A Single Line of Code

This is the best part. Getting started is incredibly simple. You just connect your existing Playwright or Puppeteer script to our secure WebSocket endpoint. That’s it.

Here’s the connection string:

wss://browser.evomi.com?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY

To integrate it into a Puppeteer script, it looks like this:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-core');

(async () => {
  const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';

  const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
    browserWSEndpoint: `wss://browser.evomi.com?api_key=${apiKey}`,
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto('https://geo.evomi.com/');

  console.log(await page.content());

  await browser.close();
})();

You’re now running a browser on our infrastructure, automatically routed through our robust proxy network. No proxy juggling, no server configuration—just a clean, reliable connection.

Main Use Cases

A managed scraping browser opens up a ton of possibilities for reliable data collection from the modern web. Here are a few common scenarios:

• Rendering JavaScript: Perfectly scrape SPAs built with React, Vue, or Angular, accessing content that regular HTTP clients can't see.

• Automating Interactive Flows: Effortlessly handle logins, fill out and submit forms, click "Load More" buttons, or navigate complex user journeys to get to the data you need.

• Accessing Hidden Data: Scrape information from behind pop-ups, menus, or other interactive elements.

• Taking Screenshots: Capture full-page or element-specific screenshots for visual regression testing, monitoring, or content archiving.

• Bypassing Anti-Bots: The browser is incredibly powerful, automatically bypassing leading bot protection systems such as Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, Imperva, and PerimeterX.

• Auto Captcha Solving: Built-in captcha-solving ensures smooth automation without interruptions.
