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**Scrapeless.** Hosted streamable HTTP MCP at api.scrapeless.com/mcp with header auth, plus a stdio package, both in the official MCP registry. llms.txt quotes Deep SerpApi at $0.1 per 1,000 while the plan data charges $1 per 1,000 for Google Search.\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### Scrapeless\n\n1. Use scrape_markdown for reading pages and save the browser_* tools for clicks and logins, since browser time bills by the hour\n2. Call browser_close when done so the session and its billing stop\n3. Set limit on crawl_start. Unset, it defaults to 10,000 pages\n4. Crawls are asynchronous. Call crawl_start, then poll crawl_result with the returned id\n5. Set SCRAPELESS_API_KEY for the stdio server. Older guides use SCRAPELESS_KEY, which still works as a fallback\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Diffbot or Scrapeless?\n\nDiffbot and Scrapeless score within a point of each other on agent readiness, 54.3 (C) and 54.1 (C). Scrapeless leads on reliability, security \u0026 auth and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Diffbot and Scrapeless need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Diffbot and Scrapeless without installing anything?\n\nYes. Diffbot has a hosted endpoint at https://api.diffbot.com/v3 and Scrapeless at https://api.scrapeless.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/diffbot-vs-scrapeless.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/diffbot-vs-scrapeless.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"diffbot\", \"b\": \"scrapeless\"}`.
