Over the past few weeks, I have been building this non stop. Currently, every scraper API out there solves the site fetching problem but left the extraction of the actual data entirely to users. Runo makes that completely disappear.
For Runo, I went ahead and added JS rendering, stealth mode, and full LLM extraction to make this a fully functional and capable of scraping most if not all sites.
Also, another major problem with current web scrapers is that they charge per feature or bundle them into expensive credit tiers. A single large or JS rendered request can cost 5-75 credits, which means you essentially get nothing out of their plans. Runo is flat per request, no matter the site. At the Scale tier, Runo works out to $0.90 per 1,000 effective requests vs. around $6 for the nearest Firecrawl equivalent. My jaw dropped when I was testing Runo and came across these numbers.
I created a free tier that is 500 requests/month, no credit card required. Take it for a spin and let me what can be improved. I would love feedback.

I think it would be really valuable to add some sort of tool that allows me to enter a URL and see a subset of the data returned, latency measurement, and flag if the Enhanced Bot Detection was required to get that data.
I can't count the number of times I've signed up for a service to see if they could get data from a URL that's giving me problems only to find that they couldn't scrape it either. It would be really helpful to know before I sign up what I need to pay for and that your tool can actually get the data I want. While it may result in fewer sign ups for your site, I think it will result in the customer who do sign up being higher value customers and potentially reduce support burden.
Bold claim.
