What is SingleAPI?
SingleAPI is a GPT‑4‑powered API that turns any website into an API in seconds by automatically navigating the web and extracting visible data as structured JSON or other formats. Instead of writing selectors or complex scrapers, users send a simple request describing the data they want, and SingleAPI renders the page in a headless browser, runs JavaScript, and returns the result in a format such as JSON, CSV, XML, or Excel. This makes it especially useful for quickly ingesting unstructured web content into structured workflows without manual parsing or maintenance.
Key features include automated web scraping without selectors, on‑the‑fly data enrichment (for example adding company details or social profiles), flexible output formats, proxy rotation with optional dedicated proxy pools, built‑in monitoring and a usage dashboard, and search‑engine scraping that can pull Google results and other search sources. The service also supports webhooks so you can receive data updates in real time, and offers Zapier integration in paid plans to plug directly into no‑code automation stacks.
SingleAPI is designed for developers, data scientists, startups, and larger businesses that need to regularly ingest or scrape data from diverse websites but want to avoid building and maintaining custom crawlers. It suits use cases such as competitive‑intelligence dashboards, lead generation, market research, job‑board aggregation, product‑price tracking, and enriching internal datasets with public web data. The tool is especially attractive when you want fast setup, low code, and automatic handling of rendering, JavaScript execution, and basic anti‑bot measures.

Frequently asked questions about SingleAPI
How does SingleAPI handle JavaScript‑heavy websites?
SingleAPI uses a headless browser to render pages and execute JavaScript, so it can extract data from any content that is visible in a regular browser. This includes dynamically loaded elements, client‑side rendered apps, and sites that rely on JavaScript frameworks, without you having to manage the rendering manually.
How fast can SingleAPI extract data from a page?
On average SingleAPI can extract data from a page in less than 2 seconds, though the exact time depends on the number of fields requested and the complexity of the page layout and loading behavior. Simple extractions tend to complete close to or under that typical threshold.
What is the request rate limit?
SingleAPI enforces a limit of 25 requests per second by default; if you exceed this, you receive a 429 status code and must wait a few seconds before making further requests. Users needing higher throughput can contact the team to discuss increasing the rate limit.
What happens if I exceed my monthly request quota on the Professional plan?
Professional plans include 5,000 requests per month, and any requests beyond that are charged at 10$ per additional 1,000 requests. The system tracks usage against your quota and bills the overage transparently on your account.
What kind of data can I extract with SingleAPI?
You can extract any data that is visible in a browser, including text, links, images, and metadata. The tool can also traverse multiple pages, such as extracting all products from an e‑commerce site or all job listings from a job board, and return them in a structured format.
How does SingleAPI manage proxies and anti‑bot measures?
SingleAPI handles proxy rotation internally so you do not need to manage individual proxies; the service can also provide a dedicated proxy pool if needed. The platform is designed to navigate common anti‑bot protections while still rendering pages correctly, though extremely strict or CAPTCHA‑heavy sites may still pose challenges.
How long is my data retained on each plan?
On the Hobby plan data is retained for 24 hours, while the Professional plan offers 30 days of data retention. Enterprise plans can be customized with longer or more specific retention policies depending on the negotiated agreement.
Is my data secure when using SingleAPI?
SingleAPI states that data security is a top priority and uses industry‑standard encryption protocols to protect information in transit and at rest. All data you provide and the results received are handled with strict security practices, and enterprise options include additional safeguards like SAML SSO and SLAs.
Can I automate flows with SingleAPI using no‑code tools?
Yes, the Professional plan includes Zapier integration, allowing you to connect SingleAPI outputs to other apps and workflows without writing code. This lets you trigger actions, populate spreadsheets, or update internal systems whenever SingleAPI returns new data.
What support options are available on different plans?
The Hobby plan provides support via email, while the Professional plan includes priority email support. Enterprise plans add premium 24/7 chat support and additional enterprise‑specific assistance such as API diagnostics and dedicated account management.
