Headless browser as a service

Offer reliable website rendering via API for developers needing consistent DOM access. Solve the pain of maintaining scraper infrastructure.

Why now

As websites become more dynamic, traditional scraping breaks. A robust API for browser automation meets growing developer demand.

Who for
Developers building scrapers
Business model
Pay-per-request API
Effort
A few months

Developers building scrapers or monitoring tools fight with browser inconsistencies and CAPTCHAs. A managed service that returns clean page data would save countless hours.

Create an API that accepts URLs and returns structured data using real browsers. Offer options for JavaScript execution and waiting for elements.

Charge per request with volume discounts. Data teams and SaaS companies would pay for reliability over maintaining their own Puppeteer clusters.

Start with a simple HTML return endpoint. The main risk is competition from existing players in the space.
