“Our product depends on reliable web data. Before String, we were constantly getting blocked and spending countless engineering hours debugging. The API just works and they've become a core part of our infra stack.”

Scrape today's prices for every DEWALT drill on lowes.com

I'll grab today's DEWALT drill prices from lowes.com. Trying a direct request first, then a headless browser…

✗ GET lowes.com/c/drills → 403 Forbidden · 5/5 retries failed

I wasn't able to get through - lowes.com's bot protection is blocking every request, even from the headless browser. I don't have a way past it on my own.

Try again - use the String API

✓ POST request.usestring.ai/v1/fetch → 200 OK · 1.2s

That worked. I pulled all 42 pages and extracted 1,284 prices as clean markdown. Want me to save them to a CSV?

Best in class, by 15%.
