Welcome to ScraperFly. These Terms of Use explain the rules that apply when you browse the website, create an account, use the dashboard, build API requests, buy credits, call API endpoints, generate files, or use any related ScraperFly tools.
By using ScraperFly, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. If you use ScraperFly on behalf of a company, client, team, or other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to accept these Terms for them.
ScraperFly provides technical tools for controlled access to public web pages. You remain responsible for the targets you request, the data you process, the way you use results, and whether your workflow complies with applicable law and target website rules.
1. Welcome and scope
These Terms apply to ScraperFly’s public website, documentation, dashboard, API Builder, API endpoints, account tools, billing features, generated artifacts, and related services.
ScraperFly may include features for fetching public pages, choosing response formats, enabling JavaScript rendering, using sessions, forwarding headers, routing requests through different delivery paths, generating screenshots or PDFs, and inspecting API usage.
Some parts of the service may be available without an account. Other features, including API keys, dashboard access, paid credits, request logs, or downloadable artifacts, may require registration or authentication.
2. Eligibility and changes
You must be legally able to enter into agreements in your jurisdiction to use ScraperFly. If you are using the service for an organization or client, you confirm that you have permission to do so.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When updated Terms are published, they become effective immediately unless stated otherwise. Continued use of ScraperFly after changes means you accept the updated version.
We may also update, add, remove, or modify service features, request parameters, limits, pricing, credits, documentation, or operational behavior as the product evolves.
3. Permitted use of ScraperFly
Subject to these Terms, ScraperFly grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service for lawful web data workflows. This may include testing public URLs, building API requests, retrieving public page responses, generating supported output formats, and integrating the API into your own applications or internal systems.
Typical permitted uses include public web data monitoring, price monitoring, SERP tracking, market research, product research, AI/RAG ingestion, QA checks, archiving public pages, and other legitimate workflows that respect applicable rules.
You may use ScraperFly responses in your own applications, reports, tools, workflows, databases, monitoring systems, and internal or customer-facing products, provided your use complies with law, third-party rights, target website rules, and these Terms.
4. Customer responsibilities
ScraperFly does not decide which target websites you should request or whether your use of target data is permitted. You are responsible for evaluating the legality, permissions, contractual obligations, privacy requirements, target rules, and business risks of your own use case.
You are responsible for using request controls responsibly. Rendering, sessions, headers, country routing, premium routing, retries, concurrency, screenshots, PDFs, and file downloads should be used for legitimate workflow needs, not to abuse targets or bypass restrictions unlawfully.
You are also responsible for reviewing outputs before relying on them. Web pages can change, targets can return partial or misleading responses, and generated artifacts may require validation before operational, legal, financial, or business use.
5. Restrictions and prohibited use
To protect ScraperFly, other users, target websites, and the integrity of the service, certain uses are not allowed.
- Do not use ScraperFly for unlawful, harmful, abusive, deceptive, fraudulent, harassing, or malicious activity.
- Do not use the service to steal credentials, bypass authentication, access private accounts, exfiltrate protected data, distribute malware, send spam, or attack websites.
- Do not overload, disrupt, reverse-engineer, clone, scrape, copy, resell, or replicate ScraperFly’s platform, code, backend logic, dashboard, API Builder, or infrastructure.
- Do not bypass account limits, billing limits, rate limits, security controls, API key restrictions, or technical protections.
- Do not present ScraperFly as your own hosted scraping service or resell direct access to ScraperFly without written permission.
- Do not use ScraperFly to collect or process sensitive personal data unless you have a lawful basis and adequate safeguards.
6. Accounts, API keys, and access
Some features require an account, API key, paid credits, or authenticated dashboard access. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials, API keys, sessions, and account access secure.
Activity performed with your account or API keys may be treated as your activity. If you believe a key or account has been exposed, rotate the key, change credentials where appropriate, and contact us through the website form.
We may restrict, suspend, throttle, or terminate access if we detect abuse, security risk, unpaid usage, policy violations, abnormal request patterns, or behavior that may harm ScraperFly, users, targets, or third parties.
7. Credits, billing, and usage limits
ScraperFly may use free credits, pay-as-you-go credits, monthly plans, request weights, quotas, rate limits, concurrency limits, or other usage controls. Request cost or weight may vary based on selected controls such as rendering, waits, routing, sessions, screenshots, PDFs, downloads, and output formats.
You are responsible for monitoring account usage, credit balance, plan limits, API keys, request logs, and billing state. If credits or plan limits are exhausted, requests may fail, pause, downgrade, or become unavailable until the account is corrected.
Pricing, credit rules, plan structure, free allowances, and available billing options may change. Material pricing or billing changes should be reflected in the product, pricing page, or related documentation.
8. Intellectual property
The ScraperFly platform, brand, logo, website design, dashboard, API Builder, documentation, code, infrastructure, styles, and related materials are protected by intellectual property laws and remain owned by ScraperFly or the relevant rights holders.
These Terms do not transfer ownership of ScraperFly technology to you. You may use the service and its documented outputs according to these Terms, but you may not copy the platform, create confusingly similar services, or claim ownership of ScraperFly materials.
You retain responsibility for your own applications, integrations, target choices, uploaded or submitted information, and downstream use of API responses.
9. External links and third-party services
ScraperFly may link to documentation, third-party services, payment providers, identity providers, analytics providers, target websites, or other external resources. These services are not under our control.
We are not responsible for the content, security, availability, terms, policies, or privacy practices of external services. Review their terms and policies separately before using them or sharing information.
10. Service availability and disclaimers
ScraperFly is provided as a technical service on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We work to make the platform useful and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free responses, target availability, successful delivery to every website, or compatibility with every workflow.
Web targets can block requests, change content, return errors, require rendering, return incomplete data, or behave differently by geography, headers, cookies, session state, timing, or route. You are responsible for testing and validating whether a response is suitable for your use case.
We do not guarantee business outcomes, rankings, revenue, compliance results, data completeness, or that ScraperFly will satisfy every operational requirement.
11. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, ScraperFly and its owners, operators, partners, employees, contractors, and contributors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or business-loss damages arising from use of, or inability to use, the service.
This includes, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, failed scraping jobs, third-party account issues, target website restrictions, business interruption, replacement service costs, or decisions made using incomplete or incorrect web data.
Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
12. Privacy and data handling
Data processing, cookies, account information, usage logs, service diagnostics, and privacy rights are described in the ScraperFly Privacy Policy. By using the service, you also acknowledge the data practices described there.
Read the ScraperFly Privacy Policy for details about account data, API logs, cookies, analytics, retention, and privacy requests.
