Short answer

How can my AI scrape sites that block bots?

Your AI uses ZenRows to mimic a real user through residential proxies and headless browser rendering. This allows it to bypass CAPTCHAs and access dynamic content that standard scrapers can't reach. You'll get the raw data your agent needs to work.

Where your data lands.

The AI handles the extraction and delivers the results directly to your chat.

DATA

Clean text content

The AI pulls text and HTML from the target. You get structured information ready for analysis.

LOGS

Extraction status

The agent reports whether the bypass worked. You'll know if a site is still blocking access.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

If a site uses a new type of protection, the AI tells you. You decide if you need to adjust your target.

FILES

Structured datasets

The AI organizes the scraped data into lists or tables. You can then move this into your own documents.

The workflow

What your AI does when a scrape request arrives.

The AI manages the connection to the target site through the ZenRows tools.

  1. Bypass detection

    The AI triggers a request that uses residential proxies to look like a human visitor. This avoids most common bot triggers.

  2. Render JavaScript

    For sites that load content dynamically, the AI uses a headless browser to execute scripts. This ensures the data is actually visible.

  3. Fetch premium data

    The AI can access high-level protected endpoints using specialized scraping routes. This gets you past the hardest walls.

  4. Parse results
