About Zyte

Zyte provides tools and services for collecting data from websites. Its flagship Zyte API is a web scraping API that picks the leanest access strategy for each site and moves to heavier methods only if a site requires it, so users avoid managing bans, proxies and browsers. The homepage states that usage is billed on success.

The company offers several ways to work with it. Zyte Data is a managed service where the vendor's team builds, runs and maintains the collection and delivers deduplicated, schema-ready data to a warehouse on a set schedule. Scrapy Cloud hosts and scales crawlers without owning servers, and an agentic web data offering lets users describe the data they want and have agents build the collection.

Zyte also maintains Scrapy, the open-source crawling framework, which teams can use on their own. The commercial products target use cases such as e-commerce price monitoring, product catalog enrichment and inventory intelligence, and the vendor publishes a pricing page and runs an annual web scraping conference.
