Could you build this?
Partial Wrapping Playwright or browser APIs to scrape web pages is easy, but a reliable web-scale scraping API requires distributed anti-bot bypassing, rotating proxies, and high-throughput infrastructure.
What it would actually take: A scalable scraper API requires a distributed pool of residential and datacenter proxies, headless browser clusters (Chromium/Puppeteer), and custom evasion techniques against Cloudflare, DataDome, and Akamai. The hardest part is maintaining anti-fingerprinting patches (TLS, canvas, WebGL) against evolving bot-detection heuristics while keeping scraping latency and per-request costs minimal.
