Scavio MCP vs Scraperapi MCP

scrape

Scrape a web page or image from any URL using the ScraperAPI services, bypassing anti-bot protections. Use this tool to retrieve the content of a web page or download an image from a given URL. It handles CAPTCHAs, IP blocks, and rate limits automatically via ScraperAPI's proxy infrastructure. When to use: - Extracting text content from web pages (articles, product listings, search results, etc.) - Downloading images from URLs (returns the image directly if the URL points to an image file) - Scraping geo-restricted content by specifying a country code - Retrieving structured data (CSV/JSON) from supported websites with autoparse enabled When NOT to use: - For URLs that require authentication or login (ScraperAPI cannot access authenticated sessions) - For non-HTTP resources (e.g., FTP, local files) - When you already have the content and don't need to fetch it again (this tool is rate-limited) Args: params (Scrape): Validated input parameters containing: - url (AnyUrl): The full URL to scrape (e.g. 'https://example.com/page') - render (bool): Enable JavaScript rendering for dynamic pages (default: false) - country_code (Optional[str]): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for geo-targeted scraping (e.g. 'us', 'gb') - premium (bool): Use premium proxies for difficult sites (default: false) - ultra_premium (bool): Use ultra-premium proxies for heavily protected sites (default: false) - device_type (Optional[DeviceType]): 'mobile' or 'desktop' User-Agent emulation - output_format (OutputFormat): Response format — 'markdown' (default), 'text', 'csv', or 'json' - autoparse (bool): Enable structured data extraction for supported sites (default: false) Returns: For web pages: str containing the page content in the requested output_format. - 'markdown': Clean, readable markdown extracted from the page HTML - 'text': Plain text without any formatting - 'csv': Comma-separated values (requires autoparse=true on supported sites) - 'json': JSON string (requires autoparse=true on supported sites) For image URLs: Image object with binary image data (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF, or SVG). Images larger than ~700KB are rejected. Raises: ToolError: If the API key is not configured, rate limit is exceeded, or the scrape operation fails.
