Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from teams considering HasData for production scraping.
HasData gives 1,000 credits every month with no card required, and the allowance renews on the same date each month. Unused credits do not carry over. Scrapingdog gives 500 one-time trial credits and no recurring free allowance.
Yes. Start with 1,000 free credits and run HasData against the exact sites you scrape today. For larger stress tests, contact us. We can extend the trial to match your current Scrapingdog plan so you can benchmark at real volume before moving.
Not cheaper at entry. Scrapingdog Lite is $40 for 200k credits, HasData $59, and both cap the entry tier at 5 concurrent requests. Past entry the unit economics favor HasData. Anti-bot requests cost 15 credits versus 25. Team seats and global geotargeting are bundled instead of gated to higher tiers.
Yes. In most cases you swap api.scrapingdog.com for api.hasdata.com and keep your existing parameters for JS rendering, premium proxies, and country targeting. Named endpoints like Google SERP API, Amazon API, and Google Maps API replace any custom parsing you wrote on top of /scrape responses.
You don't pay for it. HasData retries on its own, so the extraction usually completes even if the first attempt runs into issues. The platform also detects the most common anti-bot challenges during the scrape. When a request is blocked, it is marked as failed and is not charged. Scrapingdog returns the same anti-bot pages as 200 OK and bills them as success.
Yes. Public plans reach 20M credits a month and 500 concurrent requests, and custom plans scale beyond that. Scrapingdog publishes higher concurrency, but only on tiers that start in the thousands per month.
If you hit volume or concurrency limits, contact support via live chat or at info@hasdata.com. The team can configure a custom plan with credits, concurrency, and rate limits matched to your workload.
Yes. Share the website URL and the exact fields you need, and our team will scope and build the scraper. Clear sources and target lists move the work faster than open-ended briefs.
