A dead simple API plus a generous free tier are hard to beat. ScraperAPI is a good example of how developer experience can make a difference in a crowded category.

Frequently Asked Questions about Scraping Akamai

Akamai inspects every request through its globally distributed edge nodes, combining real‑time JavaScript challenges, device and browser fingerprinting, AI‑powered behavior analysis, and adaptive IP reputation checks to distinguish human users from bots.

Check out our in-depth tutorial to learn how to bypass Akamai protections with ScraperAPI. 

ScraperAPI uses a combination of smart IP rotation from a pool of over 200M proxies, CAPTCHA handling, and advanced JavaScript rendering to automatically bypass Akamai’s defenses. Our system mimics real user behavior, ensuring you get the data you need without being blocked.

Yes, if necessary, you can customize headers and sessions for full control over how your requests are handled. However, allowing ScraperAPI to handle this aspect typically ensures higher success rates.

Customers on our Scaling Plans can run up to 200 concurrent requests at a time. However, enterprise plans offer unlimited concurrency, meaning we can tailor a plan to handle any number of requests your business needs. To get started, please reach out to our sales team.

ScraperAPI uses a combination of smart proxy rotation, matching headers, and generated cookies to avoid triggering Akamai’s CAPTCHA challenges. When they do appear, our integrated solver pipeline automatically detects and solves reCAPTCHA v2/v3 and hCaptcha puzzles – our system processes these challenges in parallel to maintain fast response times.

Our API automatically retries failed requests – using a new IP address, adjusted headers, or modified rendering options – until a successful response is received, or your retry limit is reached. You’ll only get charged for successful requests.

If you’re experiencing persistent blocking, use different combinations of premium or ultra-premium proxies along with JavaScript rendering for a better success rate.

ScraperAPI can bypass the most advanced bot protection systems, including DataDome, Cloudflare, Amazon WAF, HUMAN, PerimeterX (now part of Human Security), among others.
