## Best Product for Your Use Case

### Compare Based on Technical Needs

Understanding your technical requirements helps narrow down the right product quickly:

* **Facing anti-bot restrictions?** <br />The **Universal Scraper API** handles all bypass mechanisms automatically for sites with defenses like Cloudflare, DataDome, or similar anti-bot protection. It's your best choice for heavily protected sites.

* **Need complex browser interactions?** <br />Choose the **Scraping Browser** if your project requires extensive actions like clicking buttons, scrolling, or form filling. It integrates with your existing Puppeteer or Playwright code, adding proxy management and scalability.

  <Warning>Consider using custom code to bypass forced CAPTCHAS if the page forces a challenge, or switch to the Universal Scraper API. However, remember that the Universal Scraper API has limitations when executing complex [JavaScript instructions](/universal-scraper-api/features/js-instructions).</Warning>

* **Just need reliable IPs?** <br />**Residential Proxies** give you access to over 55 million IPs worldwide with geo-targeting capabilities if you have your scraping setup, but need undetectable proxies.

### Match the Product to Your Workflow

Understanding when to choose each product will help you make the right decision for your specific use case.

#### Universal Scraper API

Best for general-purpose scraping. It handles everything, including JavaScript rendering, anti-bot bypass, proxy rotation, fingerprinting and more, making it perfect when you need a comprehensive scraping solution without building the infrastructure yourself.

#### Scraping Browser

Ideal if you already use Playwright or Puppeteer and need to add proxy management and anti-bot bypass capabilities. It provides fine-grained control over browser interactions such as clicking buttons, filling forms, scrolling and more. The key advantage is maintaining your existing scraping code while leveraging ZenRows' infrastructure for scalability.

#### Residential Proxies

Choose this when you have custom scraping logic but need reliable, geo-targeted IPs.

### Evaluate Cost and Scale

When selecting the right product, evaluating cost and scalability is critical to ensure your solution meets your budget and growth requirements.

Understand your usage patterns by estimating your monthly data needs and consider how many requests or pages you need to scrape and the complexity of those requests. For instance, scraping heavily protected sites or performing complex browser interactions may require more resources, impacting costs.

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

<Accordion title="What are the key differences between the products?">
  **Universal Scraper API**: A complete web scraping solution that handles dynamic content, proxies, anti-bot measures, and JavaScript rendering automatically.\
  **Scraping Browser**: Ideal for developers using Puppeteer or Playwright, it adds proxy integration, browser simulation, and anti-bot bypass with minimal setup.\
  **Residential Proxies**: A standalone proxy service offering over 55 million real IPs with geo-targeting and rotation for custom-built scraping solutions.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How can I interact with the page?">
  You can interact with the page using [JavaScript instructions](/universal-scraper-api/features/js-instructions) in the **Universal Scraper API**. These instructions are designed for simple interactions, such as clicking buttons, filling forms, and basic navigation. However, they have limitations and are not suited for complex or heavy interactions.

  For more advanced interactions, such as deep website manipulation, handling dynamic user flows, executing intricate browser actions, or multi-step navigations, the **Scraping Browser** is the best choice. It integrates seamlessly with Puppeteer or Playwright, giving you full control over the browser environment. This allows for precise interactions, such as simulating user behavior, handling JavaScript-heavy pages, and navigating complex workflows.
