Why the edge:
- Reliability, Zyte API +46: Nexscope 39 (Hosted lines, graded on the remote MCP server and the REST API at api.nexscope.ai.); Zyte API 85 (Graded as a hosted API.)
- Agent ergonomics, Zyte API +28: Nexscope 44 (Read on the MCP server, with the REST API where a line covers it.); Zyte API 72 (Graded on the REST API, with the MCP server noted.)
- Transparency & trust, Zyte API +26: Nexscope 41 (The editorial half.); 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.)
- Schema & documentation, Zyte API +21: Nexscope 64 (A public OpenAPI 3.1 file at api.nexscope.ai/openapi.json, about 3.8 MB, linked from the quickstart.); 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).)
- Security & auth, Zyte API +14: 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.); Zyte API 55 (API keys are revocable, an organisation can hold several, and none travels in a URL.)
- Maintenance & community, Zyte API +12: Nexscope 65 (Read as a closed service with a public documentation repository.); Zyte API 77 (The Agentic Web Data plugin (zytedata/skills) released 0.4.1 on 26 October 2026, 6 days before 1 November (30).)
