When MiyaIP may fit
Consider MiyaIP when a small package and a task-based workflow fit your project. Confirm that its website interface returns the content you need before moving the job.
See the crawler workflow →ScraperAPI vs MiyaIP
Compare ScraperAPI with MiyaIP for a small scraping project: check the cash outlay, map the request, and verify the response your parser needs.

When to use each service
Keep your current workflow
Keep ScraperAPI when existing domain parsers, rendering settings or higher concurrency are essential. A smaller purchase does not automatically mean a lower cost per usable page.

ConfirmedConditionalNot supportedTo confirm
| Capability | MiyaIP | ScraperAPI |
|---|---|---|
| Managed execution | Confirmed Submit a task, track its status, then inspect its result and call log. [M] | Confirmed HTTP API with managed proxy handling; asynchronous service is also available. [2] ↗ |
| JavaScript rendering | To confirm Website modes exist; an equivalent render_js switch and browser actions are not verified. [M] | Conditional Rendering is available; target and options affect credit use. [2] ↗ |
| Sessions & cookies | To confirm Cookie persistence and session IDs must be checked in the selected interface schema. [M] | Conditional Custom session support; verify the exact behavior needed by your job. [2] ↗ |
| Response format | Conditional Website HTML / Markdown; other results depend on the selected interface and task envelope. [M] | Conditional Page content through the endpoint; structured parsing depends on the target and API. [2] ↗ |
| Concurrency | Confirmed Published packages list 2, 5 or 10 simultaneous tasks. [M] | Confirmed 20 / 50 / 100 concurrent threads in the three plans shown here. [1] ↗ |
| Billing & retries | Conditional Interface and parameter based credits. Inspect actual cost and refund records; retry charging is not verified. [M] | Conditional Credits vary by request settings. Check the domain cost before comparing. [3] ↗ |
Estimate request costs
Start with 1,000 requests. Change the package and credit rate to reflect your own workload.
Write down the shared requirements
Both rates default to 1 credit per request. Enter the actual rates from your interface or bill. These estimates assume equivalent requirements; they are not test results.

How to test your target pages
Method only — no head-to-head requests have been run for this page. All measurements below await validation.
- 01
Freeze the URL set and required fields. Include one static page and one JavaScript-dependent page from your actual workload.
- 02
Run both services in the same time window with matching region, rendering, output, concurrency and retry limits. Mark unsupported or unverified requirements before running.
- 03
Count accepted content, not just HTTP 200 responses. Check required fields, freshness, empty results and error pages with the same rules.
- 04
Record every attempt, elapsed time, credits and refunds. Divide net allocated cost by accepted results only when that count is greater than zero; track subscription outlay separately.

| URL set / time window | Not tested | Not tested |
| Region / JS / required fields | Not tested | Not tested |
| Concurrency / retry limits | Not tested | Not tested |
| Attempts / content accepted | Not tested | Not tested |

If region, rendering or output cannot be matched, record “Conditions mismatch” and do not rank the services on those results.
Request examples and migration steps
Based on the current console flow, not live-tested. Bash / cURL templates require your own credentials and schema values. Nothing is executed on this page.
ScraperAPI CURRENT REQUEST
curl --get "https://api.scraperapi.com/" \
--data-urlencode "api_key=$SCRAPERAPI_KEY" \
--data-urlencode "url=$TARGET_URL"MiyaIP TASK WORKFLOW
# 1. Read the available interfaces and their ParamSchema.
curl --fail-with-body "https://miyaip.com/api/CrawlerInterface/List" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MIYA_CONSOLE_TOKEN"
# 2. Save request.json with the selected InterfaceKey and valid Params.
# The JSON below is a template; replace both placeholders before sending.
# {"InterfaceKey":"<FROM_CONSOLE>","Params":<OBJECT_FROM_INTERFACE_SCHEMA>}
curl --fail-with-body "https://miyaip.com/api/Crawler/Invoke" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MIYA_CONSOLE_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data-binary @request.json
# 3. Copy the returned task ID. Query until a terminal status.
curl --fail-with-body --get "https://miyaip.com/api/Crawler/TaskResult" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $MIYA_CONSOLE_TOKEN" \
--data-urlencode "taskId=$MIYA_TASK_ID"What changes in your integration
- Replace query-string authentication with the MiyaIP console authentication flow. The tokens are not interchangeable.
- Move URL and supported options into the selected interface Params. Do not copy render, premium or session options without a matching schema field.
- A submitted task is not the scraped page. Wait for success, read the result envelope and adapt your HTML or structured-data parser.
Before you send the request
- Use the same TARGET_URL in the old request and the website interface parameters. API key variables belong to the competitor; MIYA_CONSOLE_TOKEN is a console login token, not a permanent public API key.
- Inspect InterfaceKey and ParamSchema in the console. Create request.json with those exact fields. Fill in the parameters required by that interface.
- Check HTTP status and the business response code. Read taskId from the returned body. Query running tasks with a bounded polling interval and an overall timeout; do not repeatedly resubmit them.
- Stop on success, failed or timeout. Parse result only after success, validate the expected content, and inspect costCredits and refund logs. Handle expired authentication and rate limits before retrying.
Migration questions
Is MiyaIP cheaper than ScraperAPI?
It depends on the package you must buy, credits per request and usable output. Compare the purchase and allocated costs separately. Unknown rendering or target behavior prevents a reliable savings claim.
Can I replace the endpoint without changing my code?
No. The console flow submits an asynchronous task. Authentication, parameters, status handling and response parsing need adaptation; sessions and browser options require a compatibility check.
Have these services been benchmarked against each other?
No. This page provides a reproducible validation method and unfilled result fields. No success-rate or speed advantage is claimed.
