The Problem
An r/Rag post asked which web scraper to use for ~10M tokens of tech articles, docs, blogs. Often the question has the wrong shape; for indexed public content, search-as-source beats scraping for cost and reliability.
How Scavio Helps
- Avoids most scraper pain (Cloudflare, layouts, headless infra)
- Typed JSON throughout the pipeline
- 10M tokens typically $20-90 in Scavio + extract
- Predictable per-topic cost
- Scraping reserved for behind-auth and JS-heavy targets only

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "200 seed queries → Scavio Google SERP per query → top-N URL deduplication → Scavio /extract → 8M tokens of clean Markdown → embed → done":
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
)
data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
print(f" {result['link']}\n")Built for AI engineers building RAG pipelines, RAG SaaS founders, research labs constructing domain corpora
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your large rag corpus build (10m tokens) solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
