No status page is linked from the home page, llms.txt, the API quickstart or the MCP map, and none was found (0). With no page there is no incident history to read (5). The pricing page publishes requests a second and concurrency per plan, the same for API and MCP, with 1 and 1 on the trial, 3 and 2 on Starter, 5 and 4 on Growth, 10 and 8 on Pro (15). The quickstart calls 429 an 'execution admission rate limit' and says to honour `Retry-After` on 429 and 503 when present. No idempotency key exists. The repository says 'Do not blindly retry POST requests' and to check whether a task was created before resubmitting, and the MCP tool pages say a reconnecting client should query existing async work rather than resubmit. SoldFetch earned 15 with idempotency keys and SandBase 11 with keys on some writes, so guidance without keys earns 9 (9 of 15). No SLA, and the terms say 'We cannot guarantee the Service will be available at all times' (0). No beta or preview label on the API or the MCP server (10). 0+5+15+9+0+10 = 39.\n- Zyte API (85): Graded as a hosted API. status.zyte.com runs on Atlassian Statuspage with ten components and incident history (20). In the 90 days to 1 November 2026 its history feed lists two Zyte API incidents, both degraded browser rendering with higher latency and 520 errors, on 10 to 11 September and 13 September, neither marked as an outage, and three incidents outside the API, Scrapy Cloud periodic jobs on 17 August and the web dashboard and Scrapy Cloud periodic jobs down from 28 to 30 October, which Zyte says affected no other product. All partial, so minor (20 of 30). Rate limits are published as 3,000 requests a minute per key on standard plans and a custom limit on Enterprise, though per-site limits aren't (15). 429, 503 and 520 carry `Retry-After`, and the docs give a backoff table and say which responses to retry, per the 9 October check (15). Enterprise plans list service level agreements for support response times. No uptime SLA is published (5 of 10). Zyte API is generally available, and Zyte MCP carries no beta label on 1 November (10).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Zyte API +28\n\n- Nexscope (44): Read on the MCP server, with the REST API where a line covers it. The MCP map lists 382 tools and says the category manifests 'narrow metadata for your integration; the MCP connection still advertises the full catalog'. That is more than 30 tools with no toolsets, dynamic loading or read-only subset found (5). Search tools page by `page` (about 20 results), with filters such as marketplace, category node, sort and device per tool, but no general pagination model or field selection, and output size depends on each tool (12 of 20). By default business errors answer HTTP 200 with an outer `code`. The `X-Nexscope-Http-Status: semantic` header maps them to HTTP statuses, the OpenAPI file names codes such as `DATA_IMAGE_DOWNLOAD_FAILED` and `CAPABILITY_BACKEND_UNAVAILABLE` in field text, and MCP errors aren't documented. SandBase earned 16 with typed bridge errors (11 of 20). Data calls only read. No idempotency keys and no readOnlyHint or destructiveHint documented. Async jobs return a `taskId` with a poll tool and a rule not to resubmit, and 1688 order, payment-link, receipt and cancel calls need an explicit JSON `true` confirmation (8 of 20). Few required parameters with defaults on most. No official SDK package, only standard-library clients in the repository for JavaScript and Python, which SoldFetch earned 8 for (8 of 15). 5+12+11+8+8 = 44.\n- Zyte API (72): Graded on the REST API, with the MCP server noted. A request names the outputs it wants, so an agent can ask for extracted fields or `pageContent` in place of full HTML, but HTML and bodies come whole, up to 10 MB. Zyte MCP lists 34 tools at once, 26 of them for Scrapy Cloud, recounted from its docs on 1 November (15 of 25). No pagination applies to a single-URL call. Search takes `maxResults` from 10 to 100, and the Stats API pages and filters (14 of 20). Errors are problem+json with a stable `type` path, and the docs say which to retry and which to fix (20). Calls are reads, failed and rate-limited requests are free, and retries are safe. We could not read the MCP tool annotations, which need a sign-in (14 of 20). A call needs only `url` and one output flag. The only official client is Python, with a Scrapy plugin (9 of 15).\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Zyte API +26\n\n- Nexscope (41): The editorial half. The service is closed. The terms (8 October 2026) name ECOCREATE TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. under Singapore law with no registration number or address. The repository's MIT licence covers client code only, and the documentation and definitions stay copyright Nexscope. Scrapewise earned 15 for closed terms with MIT side code (15 of 30). The privacy policy (8 October 2026) says uploads are not used to train AI models and that connected selling-partner data is deleted or de-identified when no longer needed, but 'this policy does not specify a single deletion deadline for all data', and no DPA was found. SandBase took 12 with no retention periods (10 of 30). No deprecation policy or dated notices. The terms promise notice of material changes before they take effect where practicable, and the MCP map keeps a legacy v1 beside v2 (3 of 20). Analytics and advertising vendors are named (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Ahrefs, Google Ads, X, FirstPromoter), but hosting, AI processing and payment providers only by type, with no data locations. The repository's source notes say supplier references 'are presented as Nexscope', so the data suppliers go unnamed except LinkFox Agent for 1688 authorisation (5 of 20). 15+10+3+5 = 33. The provenance half is computed from the provenance block.\n- Zyte API (67): A closed service with terms last updated on 22 September 2026 (unchanged on 1 November) that name Zyte Group Limited and contain a Zyte API section. The Python client is BSD 3-Clause (15 of 30). The privacy policy (30 August 2024), a DPA and a sub-processor list are public, with retention stated for support tickets (4 years) and invoices (7 years). Retention of request data and scraped content isn't stated, and the terms let Zyte use Service Data for product development and product training (17 of 30). Site tier changes get two weeks' notice and the Smart Proxy Manager retirement was announced with a date, but there is no standing API deprecation policy and the terms allow changes with or without notice (10 of 20). The sub-processor list names 36 companies with addresses and purposes, and the privacy policy names the United States and Ireland as processing locations (16 of 20).\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Zyte API +21\n\n- Nexscope (64): A public OpenAPI 3.1 file at api.nexscope.ai/openapi.json, about 3.8 MB, linked from the quickstart. Visible request bodies are typed with required fields, patterns, enums and `additionalProperties: false`, but responses are open `data` objects and the components section, with the security scheme and the shared error response, wasn't reached. In the repository 166 of 252 request definitions are field descriptors rather than JSON Schema. The hosted tools/list wasn't read. SoldFetch took 17 with untyped responses and SandBase 22 with components unread (19 of 25). llms.txt on www.nexscope.ai and Markdown references for every API in the repository (10). MCP tool descriptions are one line ('Find Amazon products by keyword and marketplace. Results come back as structured JSON.'), with no when-not-to-use. The repository's references carry long trigger text ('trigger this skill whenever their need involves real-time Amazon search results'), not guidance on when to pick another tool (10 of 20). Tool pages list types, defaults, enums and length limits, but the Amazon Search page marks no argument required and omits the `keyword` its own examples pass, and many limits sit in prose (8 of 15). Every API has a request sample, a response fixture and cURL, JavaScript and Python clients, though most fixtures are labelled historical. Errors are an HTTP table, two named codes (11209, 12001) and a semantic error response whose schema wasn't read. MCP errors aren't documented (10 of 15). Path versioning under /v1, MCP v2 beside a legacy v1, and a dated OpenAPI version label, but no public changelog. SandBase earned 7 on the same pattern (7 of 15). 19+10+10+8+10+7 = 64.\n- Zyte API (85): The reference prints an OpenAPI 3.0.3 document for `POST /v1/extract`, though the Search API's `/v1/search` is documented in tables outside it (25). docs.zyte.com has an llms.txt and Markdown twins of its pages (10). The operation description states which output fields can be combined and which can't, and field descriptions give defaults (17 of 20). Inputs are typed, with 51 enums and required fields marked. `customAttributes` takes a free-form schema (13 of 15). The spec has a dozen request examples, and each error status has a problem+json example (15). The path is versioned `/v1` and the spec says 1.0.0, but we found no dated changelog for the API in the docs sitemap of 150 pages (5 of 15).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Zyte API +14\n\n- Nexscope (41): The MCP server takes OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and one scope, `mcp:tools`, per the tool pages, or a Bearer `nk-` API key. Keys are created by a person under API Access, shown once, and can be expired, disabled or deleted, with no scopes or rotation found. The OAuth metadata on api.nexscope.ai wasn't read. No query-string key option was found. Manifold earned 22 with OAuth and hashed keys whose storage it documents (20 of 30). Most tools read. Writes exist (1688 procurement on the user's own buyer account, Amazon Ads entity operations through an owned connection, paid generation jobs), and the 1688 calls need an explicit JSON `true` per action after a preview, with the guide saying to get the user's approval first. Credits cap spend. No read-only key or tool allowlist (12 of 20). Tools return third-party listings, reviews, social posts and web pages, and no prompt-injection guidance was found. Manifold, the closest marketing-data MCP, took 0 (0). The Account credits and Account usage APIs, `costToken` in data responses and credits charged on task results give per-call visibility. No key-level audit was found (9 of 15). security.txt answered a client error. No disclosure policy, bug bounty or certification found (0 of 20). 20+12+0+9+0 = 41.\n- Zyte API (55): API keys are revocable, an organisation can hold several, and none travels in a URL. Keys carry no permission scopes. Zyte MCP signs in over OAuth and works through its own key, `mcp_access_key` (22 of 30). An owner can set a blocking spending limit per key. We found no read-only mode, and the MCP docs warn that the agent can delete schedules and collections with no undo, leaving approval to the MCP client (8 of 20). The API returns untrusted web content, and the only guidance found is to review what the agent asks to do (2 of 15). The Stats API and dashboard break usage down by key, domain and request type, requests can be tagged, and each response has a `request-id`. No per-request log for the operator was found (10 of 15). ISO 27001 certification per the trust centre, a responsible disclosure programme with a hall of fame and no rewards, penetration test reports under NDA, and no security.txt (www.zyte.com/.well-known/security.txt answered 404 on 1 November) (13 of 20).\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: Zyte API +12\n\n- Nexscope (65): Read as a closed service with a public documentation repository. The repository synced the released 1688 procurement contracts on 9 November 2026 and committed again on 10 November (30). No releases or changelog. The dated record is the registry's four versions on 14 and 16 October, repository commits on 8, 9, 20 and 29 October and 2, 9 and 10 November, and source notes dating WooCommerce (29 October) and design search (2 November) additions. SoldFetch earned 10 for dated commits without releases (10 of 20). No public changelog. Support is service@nexscope.ai, WhatsApp and a booked call, untested. The repository's one merged pull request came from the organisation itself, and GitHub's API refused us, so issues weren't read (5 of 15). The official MCP registry lists `io.github.nexscope/ecommerce`, active, latest 1.0.3 of 16 October 2026, read first-hand (15). A CI workflow runs offline catalogue validation and unit tests on standard-library clients with no dependencies. The run results weren't read (5 of 10). 30+10+5+15+5 = 65.\n- Zyte API (77): The Agentic Web Data plugin (zytedata/skills) released 0.4.1 on 26 October 2026, 6 days before 1 November (30). Every dated source counted. In the 90 days from 3 August the plugin released 0.3.0, 0.3.1, 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 (17 and 22 September, 5 and 26 October) and `scrapy-zyte-api` 0.36.0 on 20 August. `python-zyte-api` 0.11.0 of 23 July has left the window, and its main branch holds unreleased work since (a CVE floor for `brotli`, Python 3.15 support), with no release by 1 November (20). There is no public API changelog. Support runs through tickets and a Discord server, and we did not read GitHub issues (8 of 15 for a closed service). `python-zyte-api` 0.11.0 is current, with Python 3.10 or later, and covers one language. The official MCP registry lists only a third-party Zyte entry (io.github.pipeworx-io/zyte), none from Zyte (12 of 15). The client repository has test and publish workflows and merged dependency updates on 20 and 26 October 2026. We did not see CI results (7 of 10).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Nexscope | Zyte API | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 39 | 85 | Zyte API +46 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 64 | 85 | Zyte API +21 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 44 | 72 | Zyte API +28 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 41 | 55 | Zyte API +14 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 35 | 40 | Zyte API +5 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 65 | 77 | Zyte API +12 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 41 | 67 | Zyte API +26 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **46.2 · D** | **69.7 · B** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Nexscope | Zyte API |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Platform | HTTP API |\n| Vendor | ECOCREATE TECHNOLOGY PTE.

The connection loads 382 tools at once, and there is no status page, changelog or idempotency key.\n\n**Zyte API.** One POST endpoint with an OpenAPI 3 contract picks proxies, browser rendering and extraction per site, bills only successful responses, and sends problem+json errors with Retry-After. Prices vary by target site across five tiers, no dated API changelog was found, and the Python client's raised `brotli` floor for CVE-2026-111497, a flaw in brotli, is merged but unreleased.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Nexscope\n\n1. Check the outer `code` is 0 before reading `data`, or send `X-Nexscope-Http-Status: semantic` to get HTTP error statuses.\n2. Call an image or video tool once, keep the `taskId`, and poll `nexscope_media_task_result`. A second call bills a second job.\n3. Read the tool's credit cost before a call. Each tool costs at least 10 credits and some cost over 300.\n4. Before you set a 1688 confirmation field to `true`, show the user the preview and get approval.\n5. If the server returns 429 or 503, wait for `Retry-After` when present and back off.\n\n### Zyte API\n\n1. Send the API key as the Basic auth username with an empty password to `https://api.zyte.com/v1/extract`. Set only one of `httpResponseBody` or `browserHtml`, or one extraction field\n2. Ask for `httpResponseBody` before `browserHtml`. Browser requests cost about eight to thirteen times more per tier\n3. Retry 429, 503 and 520 after the `Retry-After` seconds, with backoff. They aren't billed. Don't retry 400, 401, 422 or 451\n4. Read `statusCode` in a 200 response. A target site's 404 comes back as a successful, billed Zyte API response\n5. Have the owner set a blocking spending limit on the key you use. A 403 `/auth/account-suspended` means the limit or the trial month ended\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Retrieve and decode HTML with Zyte](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/zyte/), for Zyte API\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Nexscope or Zyte API?\n\nZyte API scores 69.7 (B) on agent readiness against Nexscope's 46.2 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Can an agent call Nexscope and Zyte API without installing anything?\n\nYes.
