    ScrapingBee documentation, credit costs ScrapingBee, read 2026-09-18.

    It costs 1 to 75 credits to make requests to the ScrapingBee API. By default, ScrapingBee fetches the URL to scrape via a headless browser ... costs 5 credits per request. Each request with this parameter will count as 25 API credits with Javascript enabled. If used without JavaScript rendering it will cost 10 credits. Each successful API call using this option will cost 75 credits.
