“Our engineers use ScraperAPI to ingest data. Then, they transform these data sets into valuable insights that our tool delivers to its clients.”
The Client is a workforce analytics company that provides comprehensive global workforce databases. The Client’s company collects and aggregates millions of publicly available employment records, including professional profiles, job postings, employee sentiment reviews, and layoff notices.

Everything just made sense — it was much better than the other tools we had tried.
Implementing the API was pretty straightforward, and the tools support team was always available to help throughout the process.
The Client’s team found ScraperAPI via a simple Google search and signed up immediately to try it out.
