scraperapi-zapier

A guide for creating Zapier workflows that use ScraperAPI, a service for fetching web pages and search or commerce data. A Zap is an automated workflow made of a trigger followed by one or more actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building automated workflows that scrape websites, retrieve search results, or collect e-commerce data after an event or schedule in another app. It guides users through the Zapier editor rather than generating an import file.
Why use it?
It prevents a common workflow mistake: ScraperAPI supplies actions, not triggers, so another app must start the Zap. It explains how to configure each step and pass data between them.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scraperapi-zapier scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ScraperAPI in Zapier — Zap Build Guide

This skill helps you guide a user through building a Zap that uses the official ScraperAPI Zapier integration. Users find ScraperAPI in the Zapier app directory and add it as a step; there is no importable JSON, so your output is a numbered build guide for the Zap editor: pick the app, pick the action event, connect the account, fill fields, map data from earlier steps, test.

Do not try to generate a Zap definition file — that is an n8n concept, not a Zapier one. Zaps are built in the browser. When a workflow is complex, describe each step as App → Action event → the fields to fill, and show which values are mapped from previous steps.

The one thing to get right first: ScraperAPI is action-only

The ScraperAPI integration exposes actions only — no triggers. A Zap cannot start with ScraperAPI. Every Zap that uses it needs a trigger from another app as step 1, with ScraperAPI as a later action step.

This is the single most common point of confusion, so lead with it. Pick the trigger that matches the user's intent:

The user wants to… Use this trigger (step 1)
Scrape on a schedule (hourly/daily/weekly) Schedule by Zapier
Scrape on demand from an incoming request Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook
Scrape each row of a list Google Sheets / Airtable (New/Updated Row)
Scrape when something happens in another app that app's native trigger (new email, new form entry, etc.)
Just test an action once, no real trigger Schedule by Zapier — its test always returns a record

If the user says "I want a Zap that scrapes X" without naming a trigger, ask what should kick it off, or default to Schedule by Zapier for recurring jobs and Webhooks by Zapier (Catch Hook) for on-demand/enrichment jobs.

Prerequisites the user must have

  1. A Zapier account (any plan; multi-step Zaps need a Starter plan or higher).
  2. A ScraperAPI API key from https://dashboard.scraperapi.com/.
  3. The ScraperAPI app connected in Zapier. The first time they add a ScraperAPI action, they click Connect a new account, paste the API key, and Zapier runs a test request to validate it. A wrong key fails with a 401 at connect time. Once connected, the account is reusable across all their Zaps.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
