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**Spider.** Keyless /scrape and working x402 v2 on every core route, so an agent needs no account. Operated by BAGELMEN LLC with no address, retention periods or DPA in the privacy policy.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Spider\n\n1. Every content route returns a JSON array, even /scrape. The status field is the page's, not the API call's\n2. Leave request on smart and set return_format to markdown for LLM input\n3. Set limit on /crawl. Unset, it caps only at your credit balance\n4. Use /scrape with `stealth: true` instead of /unblocker, which is deprecated\n5. Honour Retry-After on 429. Keyless use allows 4 requests a minute\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, ScraperAPI or Spider?\n\nSpider scores 74.1 (BB) on agent readiness against ScraperAPI's 52.1 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do ScraperAPI and Spider need an API key?\n\nScraperAPI needs an API key. Spider takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. An agent can also pay Spider per call over x402, with no account.\n\n### Can an agent call ScraperAPI and Spider without installing anything?\n\nYes. ScraperAPI has a hosted endpoint at https://api.scraperapi.com and Spider at https://api.spider.cloud.\n\n### Are ScraperAPI and Spider open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for ScraperAPI. Spider is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scraperapi-vs-spider-cloud.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/scraperapi-vs-spider-cloud.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"scraperapi\", \"b\": \"spider-cloud\"}`.
