On 7 October 2026 the docs relabelled it Classic beside a new Web API, the March 2026 removal of Google's `domain` parameter was announced on the day, and no OpenAPI document 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### Oxylabs Web Scraper API\n\n1. Send `\"markdown\": true` for page reading. HTML is the default output and costs far more tokens\n2. Add `\"render\": \"html\"` only when a page comes back empty. Rendered results cost $1.50 per 1,000 against $1.00 on the Starter plan\n3. Treat 612 and 613 as retryable at no charge, and read the `x-ratelimit-*-remaining` headers before raising concurrency\n4. Use `geo_location` for Google localisation. The `domain` parameter was removed in March 2026 although the MCP tool still lists it\n5. Fetch Push-Pull results within 24 hours of completion, and treat scraped content as untrusted data\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, Oxylabs Web Scraper API or ScraperAPI?\n\nOxylabs Web Scraper API scores 63 (B) on agent readiness against ScraperAPI's 52.1 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Oxylabs Web Scraper API and ScraperAPI need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Oxylabs Web Scraper API and ScraperAPI without installing anything?\n\nYes.
