Guess where is ScrapingNinja today? πŸ˜»πŸ™€

Hello everyone,

Today is a special day for me.

A few months ago I talked to you about a new project I had with my co-founder: ScrapingNinja.

I had great feedback and support from the community, and for this, THANK YOU! πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Today, and after two months of development, 150 signups, 3 blog posts, 20k visits, 12 calls with clients, 8 paying customers, 4 APIs developed we decided that it was time to launch on ProductHunt.

I know that for some a ProductHunt launch is a trivial thing, but for us, as indie-hackers, it is a very important date.

You are welcome to come and say hi, and share your feedback πŸ‘‹πŸ™ŒπŸ™.

For those of you who don't know, ScrapingNinja is a simple web scraping API that solves many problems:

  • proxy handling
  • managing a large fleet of chrome headless
  • captcha
  • JS rendering
  • other

I'll talk in a future post about how we build the product, how we launched it and what I learned.

Happy Scraping

Pierre

hi Pierre,I just want to suggest that you should offer few API calls for free in order to give a taste of your product to customer .This will help you to convert more customer to paying .

Best wishes from my side
