It is the only scheme in the OpenAPI file\n\n### ScrapeGraphAI (B)\n\nGood for: LLM pipelines that want prompt-to-JSON extraction and for agents that must pay with a wallet.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 64 against 55\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 88 against 83\n- Agent ergonomics, 72 against 63\n- Security \u0026 auth, 39 against 21\n- Payments \u0026 pricing, 90 against 40\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 70 against 57\n\nWatch for: Rate limits and plan prices differ between docs pages\n\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Diffbot | ScrapeGraphAI | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 55 | 64 | ScrapeGraphAI +9 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 83 | 88 | ScrapeGraphAI +5 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 63 | 72 | ScrapeGraphAI +9 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 21 | 39 | ScrapeGraphAI +18 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 40 | 90 | ScrapeGraphAI +50 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 57 | 70 | ScrapeGraphAI +13 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 68 | 60 | Diffbot +8 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **54.3 · C** | **68.3 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Diffbot | ScrapeGraphAI |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | HTTP API | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | Diffbot Technologies Corp. | ScrapeGraphAI |\n| Hosted endpoint | `https://api.diffbot.com/v3` | `https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com` |\n| Transports | HTTP | HTTP, Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | API key | OAuth or key |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Freemium |\n| Price for extraction | $0.90 per 1,000 pages | $10 per 1,000 requests |\n| x402 | no | payer tooling only |\n| Licence | Proprietary service under Diffbot's Terms of Use.

The API token travels in the URL query string, tokens carry no scopes, and no security page, certification or security.txt was found.\n\n**ScrapeGraphAI.** An agent can mint an account and key over x402 or MPP with no signup. Rate limits and plan prices differ between docs pages.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Diffbot\n\n1. Call `GET https://api.diffbot.com/v3/analyze?url=\u003cencoded URL\u003e\u0026token=\u003ctoken\u003e` when the page type is unknown. Use `/v3/article` or `/v3/product` to force one schema\n2. Keep the token out of logs and shared URLs. It sits in the query string, so any proxy or log that records the request URL records the token\n3. Stay under 5 calls a minute on Free, 5 a second on Startup and 25 a second on Plus. On 429 wait at least one second and back off\n4. Check a 200 response for `errorCode`. The official client raises `ExtractionError` when a 200 reports a failed extraction\n5. Set `useProxy=default` only when a site blocks the fetch. A proxied page costs 2 credits against 1\n6. Install `diffbot` from PyPI, not `diffbot-python`, which stopped at 0.3.0\n\n### ScrapeGraphAI\n\n1. Use `scrape` with the markdown format (1 credit) before reaching for `extract` (5 credits)\n2. Read `GET https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com/api/agent/protocols` for current packs and prices before paying over x402\n3. MCP tool calls stop at 60 seconds. Use `crawl_start` and poll for anything longer\n4. Back off 1, 2 then 4 seconds on a 429 `rate_limit_exceeded`. No Retry-After is sent\n5. Use Orthogonal's x402 gateway when you need to pay per call without a key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Diffbot or ScrapeGraphAI?\n\nScrapeGraphAI scores 68.3 (B) on agent readiness against Diffbot's 54.3 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Diffbot leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Diffbot and ScrapeGraphAI need an API key?\n\nDiffbot needs an API key. ScrapeGraphAI takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Diffbot and ScrapeGraphAI without installing anything?\n\nYes. Diffbot has a hosted endpoint at https://api.diffbot.com/v3 and ScrapeGraphAI at https://v2-api.scrapegraphai.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/diffbot-vs-scrapegraphai.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/diffbot-vs-scrapegraphai.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"diffbot\", \"b\": \"scrapegraphai\"}`.
