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**ScraperAPI.** One GET request with a key and a URL returns a page, and the MCP server's 28 tools carry read-only and destructive hints. No status page, OpenAPI file, security.txt or certification was found, and the documented default puts the API key in the URL query string.\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### ScraperAPI\n\n1. Set the client timeout to 70 seconds. The API retries for that long before it returns 500, and a request cancelled earlier is still charged\n2. Send the key as the `x-sapi-api_key` header to keep it out of URLs and logs\n3. Pass `max_cost` on each request, or call `/account/urlcost` first, because domain and anti-bot surcharges vary from 1 to 75 credits\n4. Use `output_format=markdown` or `text` to cut response size, and `autoparse=true` only on supported domains\n5. On 429 reduce concurrency to the plan limit (5 on Free, 20 on Hobby). The request is rejected, not queued\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Diffbot or ScraperAPI?\n\nDiffbot scores 54.3 (C) on agent readiness against ScraperAPI's 52.1 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. ScraperAPI leads on agent ergonomics and security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Do Diffbot and ScraperAPI need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Diffbot and ScraperAPI without installing anything?\n\nYes. Diffbot has a hosted endpoint at https://api.diffbot.com/v3 and ScraperAPI at https://api.scraperapi.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/diffbot-vs-scraperapi.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/diffbot-vs-scraperapi.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"diffbot\", \"b\": \"scraperapi\"}`.
