What is Oxylabs

Vendor's own claim

Oxylabs is web-data infrastructure spanning raw proxy access, managed scraping APIs, and AI-oriented no-code/agent tooling.

Ideal customer profile

Vendor's own claim

Teams needing reliable, large-scale access to public web data - price/market intelligence, SEO monitoring, ad verification, fraud prevention/cybersecurity, journalism, and AI/LLM developers training or grounding models on web data. Vendor names Stanford University, Forbes, Bloomberg, and Citadel among its 15,000+ clients.

Who should look elsewhere

Our read

The retained pricing material caps Web Scraper API throughput at 50 requests per second below Business tier and 100 on Business or Corporate, so high-throughput buyers should verify the plan they need. The free trial is capped at 2,000 results, while monthly plans commit to fixed allowances. The MCP server requires separate Web Scraper API or AI Studio credentials and is not a standalone free capability.

Oxylabs alternatives

Oxylabs FAQ

Does Oxylabs publish a machine-readable OpenAPI spec?

Our read
How does the Web Scraper API authenticate requests?

HTTP Basic Authentication using dedicated API User credentials created under the Users tab in the Oxylabs dashboard - not the main account login - e.g. curl --user 'USERNAME:PASSWORD'.

From official docs
Is there a free trial?

Yes, up to 2,000 results on the Web Scraper API with no credit card required, paying only for successful results.

From official docs
How is the Web Scraper API priced?

Monthly subscription tiers with an included result quota and declining per-1K-result rate: Micro ($49/mo, ~98K results), Starter ($99/mo, ~220K results), Advanced ($249/mo, ~622.5K results), plus higher Business/Corporate/Custom tiers not fully detailed on the public pricing page.

From official docs
What are the API rate limits?

10 total jobs/second on the free trial, 50 jobs/second on Micro through Venture plans, 100 jobs/second on Business and Corporate, and custom limits above that; a domain gets throttled to 1 request/second if its success rate drops below 40% over a 5-minute window.

Vendor's own claim
