## What this connects

ScrapingBee is a web scraping API that handles headless browsers and proxy rotation, allowing developers to extract HTML from any website in a single API call.

Vendor: https://www.scrapingbee.com/

## Tools available

**5** tools available. First 5:

- `SCRAPINGBEE_DATA_EXTRACTION` — ScrapingBee Data Extraction — Tool to extract structured data from a webpage using CSS or XPath selectors. Use ScrapingBee's extract_rules feature.
- `SCRAPINGBEE_HTML_FETCH` — ScrapingBee HTML Fetch — Tool to fetch HTML or screenshot via ScrapingBee HTML API. Use when you need page markup or image after optional JS rendering and resource controls. For anti-bot or CAPTCHA-protected sites (e.g., Cloudflare), combine render_js=true with premium_proxy=true or stealth_proxy=true to avoid blocks.
- `SCRAPINGBEE_SCRAPING_BEE_PROXY_MODE` — ScrapingBee Proxy Mode — Tool to fetch web content via ScrapingBee's Proxy Mode. Use when you need to route requests through ScrapingBee proxies with optional JS rendering and resource blocking.
- `SCRAPINGBEE_STEALTH_PROXY` — ScrapingBee Stealth Proxy — Tool to perform stealth scraping via ScrapingBee's Stealth Proxy mode. Use when you encounter anti-bot measures requiring undetectable requests.
- `SCRAPINGBEE_USAGE_STATS` — ScrapingBee Usage Stats — Tool to retrieve usage statistics for your ScrapingBee account. Use when you need to monitor remaining credits and request count.

## Auth

Auth schemes: `API_KEY`.

## How agents use Scrapingbee

Inside a Definable workflow, Scrapingbee is one of the tools the **Distributor specialist** can call. Example coordination patterns:

- **Researcher → Scrapingbee** — the Researcher (GPT-5.5) pulls context from Scrapingbee (records, threads, documents), synthesises findings, and briefs the rest of the team.
- **Writer → Distributor → Scrapingbee** — the Writer (Claude Opus 4.7) drafts copy in brand voice, the Verifier passes it, then the Distributor writes the result into Scrapingbee (create record, post message, draft email).
- **Designer / Engineer → Distributor → Scrapingbee** — the Designer ships an asset or the Engineer ships a code change, the Distributor delivers it via Scrapingbee (attach file, open PR comment, post status).

The Verifier checks every Scrapingbee call. On rate limit, schema drift, or auth refresh it self-heals and retries — the workflow completes without manual intervention.
