Multiple search engines. One API.

CrawlFox supports Google and DuckDuckGo through one API, with Bing coming soon. Choose the engine you need and get the same request and response structure across all of them.

Google

Best for AI research, SEO and rank tracking, and GEO.

DuckDuckGo

Best for privacy-focused products, regulated industries, and non-personalized research.

BingComing soon

For Copilot tracking, B2B SEO, ad-tech queries, and research that benefits from Bing results. Not available yet — requests for it are rejected rather than billed.

Proxies, captchas, bot defenses. Handled by our own engine.

Every request goes out through our own proxy rotation, challenge solver and browser engine. You wire up none of it.

In-house anti-bot engine

Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, HUMAN, Imperva, and custom JavaScript challenges. All detected and cleared by an engine we wrote, not a vendor we resell.

Purpose-built proxy engine

Residential and datacenter pools, routed per target by our own rotator, with failover the instant an exit is blocked.

Our own browser engine

Pages that need JavaScript render in a headless browser we built ourselves, not the off-the-shelf automation stack every detector already fingerprints.

Retries + circuit breaking

Transient failures retry inside the engine. Persistent ones return clean errors, so your code knows when to stop.

Simple pricing

No multipliersNo expiryNo surprises

Every endpoint has one published credit cost. It doesn’t change for JavaScript rendering or premium proxies, and the credits you buy don’t reset at month-end.

What we commit to

✓1 credit for search and scrape.

✓Credits you buy never expire, even when you cancel.

✓Zero credits for failed calls.

✓2,000 free credits every month, forever. A fresh 2,000, not a rollover.

What we never do

✕Surcharges for JavaScript rendering or premium proxies.

✕Credit multipliers when you turn features on.

✕Use-it-or-lose-it monthly resets.

✕Bills for pages that never loaded.
