Jina Reader vs ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator

Jina Reader 70

Atlassian Statuspage at status.jina.ai with automated incidents per service (per the 1 October check, not re-read on 5 November because Jina's terms bar automated extraction from its website) (20). On 1 October the feed reached back only to 15 September 2026. In that window r.jina.ai had no incidents and s.jina.ai had eight five-minute ones. Minor only, less 5 for the short window. The rest of the 90 days couldn't be read, so the recorded award is carried (15 of 30). Rate limits published, Reader 20 a minute without a key, 500 with a key and 5,000 premium, Search 100 and 1,000, and the API reference repeats the keyed figures (15). Jina's merged OpenAPI file (docs.jina.ai/openapi.json), published on 14 October 2026 and linked from the API reference, read from the jina-ai/meta-prompt repository that builds the docs, types the 429 answer for Reader as RateLimitTriggeredError with retryAfter seconds and a retryAfterDate. No backoff guidance, and Reader takes no writes (10). No SLA found (0). GA (10).

ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 37

Graded on the hosted lines. No status page was found on scrapeops.io or in the docs, and status.scrapeops.io did not answer (0). No readable incident history (5). Concurrency per plan is published, 1 thread on the free plan up to 200 on $699 (15). 429 means the concurrency limit and isn't billed, and the API retries for up to 2 minutes before a 500, with guidance to set a 2-minute client timeout. No Retry-After or backoff guidance (7 of 15). No SLA; the terms disclaim availability (0). Generally available since July 2022 (10). 0 + 5 + 15 + 7 + 0 + 10 = 37.

Jina Reader 77

Jina's merged OpenAPI file (docs.jina.ai/openapi.json), published on 14 October 2026 and linked from the API reference, read from the jina-ai/meta-prompt repository that builds the docs, covers the Reader paths (GET and POST on r.jina.ai) with 98 typed parameters each and a typed response for every status. The Markdown reference at docs.jina.ai/api.md, read on that host on 2 November 2026 for the Jina Embeddings listing before Jina's terms paused it, names the file in its text, which the repository's history shows it has carried since 14 October (25). The reference is also published as Markdown at docs.jina.ai/api.md, and docs.jina.ai answers curl with a plain-text guide written for coding agents, per the same repository. The Reader README is a full Markdown reference of every header (10). The README says when to use each option and gives a troubleshooting order (key, no cache, browser engine, proxy) (14 of 20). Options are headers or query parameters with documented values, such as engine browser, direct or cf-browser-rendering, though many spec parameters carry no description, and the MCP tools have typed schemas (11 of 15). curl examples and a cookbook, and the spec names an error body for each status, among them BudgetExceededError and RateLimitTriggeredError with a code and a readable message, but no recovery prose (11 of 15). No API changelog. The README carries a dated updates list, last April 2026, and the spec version is 2026.10.13.1624 (6 of 15).

ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 67

No OpenAPI or similar spec. The MCP server's three tools have typed inputs in its source (10 of 25). llms.txt and llms-full.txt index the docs for models (10). Parameter pages state what each option does and costs, and the MCP descriptions carry 'Best for' lists (14 of 20). Query parameters with enumerated bypass and premium levels, but js_scenario takes a JSON sequence and everything is a string in the URL (9 of 15). Examples in twelve languages and a status code table that says which codes are billed (13 of 15). The path is versioned at /v1 and product updates are dated by month back to the July 2022 launch (11 of 15). 10 + 10 + 14 + 9 + 13 + 11 = 67.

Jina Reader 35

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Billed in tokens with no price in any currency on the Reader page, which points to a separate table, per the 1 October check, not re-read on 5 November because Jina's terms bar automated extraction from its website (0). Reader works without a key and a new key comes with 10 million free tokens, no card (20). An agent can read pages with no signup at 20 a minute, but Search needs a key (15 of 20).

ScrapeOps Proxy API Aggregator 40

No x402, MPP or L402 (0). Credit costs per option and all twelve plan prices are public (20). Free plan of 1,000 credits a month with no card (20). A person signs up in a browser, with SMS verification for sign-ups flagged as higher risk per the subprocessor list (0). 0 + 20 + 20 + 0 = 40.
