What is Web Unblocker?
Web Unblocker is an API-based tool that helps you access public web data from even the most protected websites. It automates everything that typically gets in your way: proxies, CAPTCHAs, fingerprinting, JavaScript rendering, and session handling.
You just make an API request, and Web Unblocker gives you back clean, usable data in HTML, JSON, Markdown, or screenshot format. It works like a full-featured browser under the hood—but you don’t have to manage any of it.
When to choose Web Unblocker?
Use Web Unblocker if:
You want to scrape complex websites without building your own solution
You’re blocked by WAFs or invisible CAPTCHAs
You need data from dynamic pages or SPAs
You want JSON or Markdown for fast data use
You don’t want to maintain proxy and browser logic
How does it work?
Send a request via REST API with the URL you want to scrape
Choose your options: output format, JS rendering, proxy type, etc.
We handle everything: browser emulation, proxy rotation, solving CAPTCHAs
You get clean data back
Output formats
Choose exactly what you want in the response:
HTML – Final rendered content
JSON – Structured and easy to parse
Markdown – Lightweight and readable for content workflows
Screenshot – PNG image of the visual result
XHR logs – Background API responses from the site
How to get started in 3 steps?
1. Sign up and get your API token (API key)
Start a 3-day trial for $1.99.
Once inside, go to the Scraper APIs tab to copy your API key.
2. Send your first request
Here’s a basic example using curl:
curl -X POST "https://scraping.soax.com/v2/unblocker/fetch-content" -H "X-SOAX-API-Secret: your API key" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-raw '{ "url": "https://www.example.com", "proxy_settings": { "country": "us", "type": 1 }, "response": { "body": true, "screenshot": false, "xhr": false, "markdown": false } }'This will return the fully rendered HTML of the page.
Check the API documentation to see all available request options.
3. Explore response formats
Add "screenshot": true, "markdown": true, or "xhr": true in the response block to tailor what you get back.
