Scrapingant for AI agents

ScrapingAnt is a web scraping API that renders pages through headless Chrome with proxy rotation and CAPTCHA bypass, and can extract data with AI. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Scrapingant connects.

Users add their Scrapingant api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Scrapingant connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Scrapingant and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Scrapingant with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Scrapingant to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Scrapingant actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Scrapingant?

Users add their Scrapingant api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Scrapingant actions can my agent take?

9 in total: 9 read, 0 write and 0 destructive. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Scrapingant?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Scrapingant policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Scrapingant too?

Yes. The same Scrapingant connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
