The Problem
OSS scraper maintainers spend 80% of their time on infra: proxy rotation, CAPTCHA handling, keeping parsers alive against HTML changes. The actual 'scraper' value-add is the UX on top. Maintainers want to ship the UX and let someone else run the infra.
The Scavio Solution
Scavio white-labels for OSS maintainers. Plug our API into your OSS scraper as the default backend, and your users get the UX of your tool with Scavio's reliability underneath. Free tier covers dogfooding; paid tier is reseller-friendly so you can monetize.
Before
Maintain proxies, CAPTCHA solvers, and parsers; burn out; project dies within 18 months.
After
Ship a UX layer, point it at Scavio, spend weekends adding features instead of fixing blocks.
Who It Is For
OSS scraper maintainers who want to ship UX, not infrastructure.
Key Benefits
- White-label reseller terms for OSS maintainers
- Drop-in backend replaces homegrown scrapers
- Free tier covers development and dogfooding
- Maintainers focus on UX, Scavio handles reliability
- Revenue share on paid upgrades available

headers={'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']},
