One scraping API for every client workflow

Stop juggling PhantomBuster, Apify, and RapidAPI across client projects. Weld gives you a single API for 11 platforms — social, B2B, and review sites — with per-result billing you can pass straight to clients.

The problems you're facing

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Tool fragmentation

Every client needs a different scraping tool. LinkedIn from PhantomBuster, Instagram from Apify, TikTok from a RapidAPI endpoint. Each with its own auth, rate limits, and response format.

Messy client billing

PhantomBuster charges per phantom per month, not per result. If a client needs 200 scrapes but the phantom costs $69/mo, you either eat the margin or overcharge.

Unpaid maintenance

Free and cheap scrapers break constantly. You get panicked Slack messages from clients at 2am because workflows failed. Hours of unpaid debugging follow.

Shared credentials

All clients share your scraping tool credentials. Hit rate limits on Client A and Client B's workflow also fails.

How Weld solves this

One API, all platforms, pay per result

Single API for all platforms

LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, YouTube, Facebook, Indeed, Glassdoor, Yelp, GitHub, Crunchbase — same HTTP Request node, same response shape. Only the scraper slug changes.

Per-result billing

Credits consumed per job map directly to client deliverables. Buy a credit pack, allocate per client, invoice with a clear breakdown.

Zero scraper maintenance

When Instagram changes its markup, Weld updates the scraper. Your n8n workflows keep running without intervention.
