Gaffa

In today's competitive landscape, data is the ultimate fuel for growth, but accessing it at scale is a monumental technical challenge. Gaffa is the revolutionary API that transforms web data extraction and browser automation from a complex engineering burden into a seamless, scalable strategic asset. Designed for ambitious startups, developers, data scientists, and product teams, Gaffa provides a powerful, simple REST API that abstracts away the entire infrastructure headache. Forget about managing headless browsers, configuring residential proxies, scaling servers, and handling constant failures. With Gaffa, you send a single API request to perform sophisticated actions—like scrolling, clicking, and data extraction—that mimic natural human behavior to bypass advanced anti-bot systems. It delivers data in your preferred format: clean HTML, LLM-ready markdown, AI-parsed JSON, or full-page screenshots. The core value is undeniable: stop diverting precious engineering resources to maintain brittle scraping pipelines and start accelerating your core business with reliable, high-quality web data delivered through a developer-friendly interface built for scale.

Simple REST API

Gaffa eliminates the need for complex frameworks like Playwright or Selenium by encapsulating their power into a straightforward REST API. You can control real browsers at scale with a single API call, instructing them to navigate, interact, and extract data without managing the underlying infrastructure. This dramatically reduces development time and complexity, allowing your team to focus on building data-driven features instead of wrestling with browser automation tools.

Real Browser Automation & Proxies

Gaffa uses real browsers with full JavaScript rendering by default, ensuring you see the web exactly as a human user would, avoiding the quirks of headless browsers. Combined with its integrated global residential proxy network, you can specify geographic locations for your requests. This provides fast, reliable access to localized content and is crucial for bypassing geo-restrictions and sophisticated anti-bot measures that block data centers.

Advanced Data Processing

Gaffa goes beyond fetching raw HTML. It includes built-in processing to deliver data in the format you need to move fast. Options include simplified HTML, LLM-ready markdown for direct ingestion into AI models, AI-powered parsing into structured JSON, and self-contained offline page archives. This turns unstructured web data into immediately usable information, accelerating analytics, research, and AI training pipelines.

Full Observability & Scaling

Gain complete visibility into your automations with built-in screen recording for every request, allowing you to easily debug and verify behavior. More importantly, Gaffa is engineered for scale from the ground up. The platform handles all the complexities of concurrent requests, infrastructure management, and failure handling, so you can scale your data operations seamlessly without worrying about server capacity or pipeline maintenance.

Competitive Intelligence & Market Research

Empower your growth strategy by automating the collection of pricing data, feature comparisons, and market trends from competitor websites. Gaffa's ability to handle JavaScript-heavy sites and bypass blocks ensures you get accurate, real-time data to inform your positioning, pricing, and product development decisions, keeping you ahead in fast-moving markets.

AI & LLM Training Data Collection

Fuel your machine learning models with high-quality, structured data sourced directly from the web. Gaffa's ability to output data as clean, LLM-ready markdown or AI-parsed JSON simplifies the data preparation pipeline. Automate the gathering of articles, product catalogs, and forum discussions to build robust datasets for training and fine-tuning your AI applications.

Dynamic Content Monitoring & Alerts

Build real-time monitoring systems for stock levels, news announcements, regulatory updates, or social media sentiment. Gaffa can be scheduled to regularly check target web pages, interact with dynamic elements, and extract specific data points. Trigger alerts or update internal dashboards the moment changes occur, enabling proactive business responses.

Automated Content Aggregation & Enrichment

Enhance your product or service by automatically aggregating and structuring content from diverse public sources. Whether it's pulling in real estate listings, job postings, travel deals, or academic publications, Gaffa handles the extraction and normalization of data. This allows you to enrich your platform's offerings without manual data entry.

What is a credit and how is it calculated?

A credit is Gaffa's unit of consumption for its API. Costs are based on two factors: request time and proxy bandwidth. Browser runtime is billed at 1 credit per 30 seconds (2 credits if screen recording is on). Additionally, any request using a residential proxy location is charged 1500 credits per 1GB of bandwidth used. Each successful request deducts the corresponding credits from your monthly plan allowance.

Does Gaffa offer a free trial?

Yes. You can sign up for a free account to experiment with the full capabilities of the Gaffa API on our dedicated demo site (demo.gaffa.dev). This allows you to build and test automations, explore all features, and understand the workflow without a credit card, before upgrading to a paid plan for use on the live internet.

What is Gaffa's refund policy?

Gaffa is happy to offer a refund if you request it within the current billing period, provided you have not used any credits in that month. This policy is designed to be fair and customer-friendly, allowing you to start a paid plan with confidence. You can find more detailed information on our website.

Do unused credits roll over to the next month?

No, credits do not roll over. The credit allowance included in your monthly subscription plan is reset at the start of each new billing cycle. Any unused credits from the previous period will expire. This is a common model that helps us maintain predictable infrastructure scaling and offer clear, consistent pricing.
