What exactly is Irmu?

Irmu is an infrastructure layer for web data. Instead of stitching together proxies, headless browsers, CAPTCHA solvers and parsers, you call a single REST API that handles fetching, rendering, unblocking and structuring in one request.

Is Irmu just another scraping API?

A scraping API returns HTML. Irmu returns whatever shape your pipeline needs: raw HTML, a rendered DOM, a screenshot, a browser session, a proxied connection or structured JSON produced by AI extraction — with the same auth, quota, retry and observability model across all of them.

Do I pay for blocked requests?

Yes. If we reach the target and return its response, the request is successful and billed — even when that response is a 404, a 500 or an anti-bot block. You are only not charged when Irmu cannot serve the request for internal reasons, or when the domain is outside our coverage (for example .gov domains).

How fast can I get started?

Create an account, copy your API key and issue a request. Most teams have their first successful call in under two minutes, and SDKs are available for Python, Node, PHP, Go and Java.

Can Irmu render JavaScript-heavy sites?

Yes. Add render=true and the request runs in real headless Chrome with configurable wait conditions, viewport, geolocation and custom scripts before the response is captured.

Is scraping with Irmu compliant?

Irmu is built for collecting publicly accessible data. Our Acceptable Use Policy prohibits collecting personal data unlawfully or circumventing authentication, and enterprise plans include a DPA and security review.

Products

Five APIs that replace an entire scraping stack

Each one works standalone. Together they cover everything between a URL and a row in your warehouse.

Web Scraping API

Extract HTML from any website with rotating proxies and JavaScript rendering.

GET /api/scrape

Browser API

Control a real browser through a simple REST API.

POST /api/browser

Screenshot API

Generate pixel-perfect screenshots of any webpage.

GET /api/screenshot

AI Extract API

Turn messy HTML into structured JSON using natural language.

POST /api/extract

Proxy API

Residential, ISP and datacenter proxies with automatic rotation.

http://proxy.irmu.com:8080

Response preview

See what the API returns

Static example payloads rendered in your browser — no request is sent. Sign up for a key to run these endpoints against real targets.

GET /api/scrape

Target URL

Rendered HTML with proxy rotation

Example payload only. Nothing is fetched from this page — the response shape updates locally as you edit the URL. Create an API key to run real requests.

Example response

{
  "status": 200,
  "url": "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHX1W1XY",
  "resolved_ip_country": "us",
  "render": true,
  "timing_ms": { "proxy": 118, "render": 742, "total": 981 },
  "credits_used": 5,
  "html": "<!DOCTYPE html><html lang=\"en\"><head><title>www.amazon.com</title>..."
}

Capabilities

Everything that usually breaks, handled for you

The unglamorous work of reliable web data collection — maintained as a service.

JavaScript rendering

Many sites render prices, listings and reviews client-side, so the raw HTML is empty. Turn JavaScript on and the page runs in real headless Chrome before the response is captured.

Premium residential IPs

Premium requests go out over residential connections instead of datacenter ranges, so they are far less likely to be blocked by protected sites.

Geotargeting at no extra cost

Target any request by country, region/state or city to see localized pricing and inventory. Geotargeting never costs additional credits.

AI extraction

Ask a question about a page and get structured JSON back instead of parsing HTML — or plug in your own model and pay no extra credits.

Screenshots & PDFs

Full-page or viewport captures, device emulation and PDF rendering from the same endpoint.

Transparent billing

Any response we deliver — including 404s, 500s and anti-bot blocks — counts as a request. You are only not charged when Irmu cannot serve the request for internal reasons, or the domain is not covered.

Integrations

    },
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer irmu_sk_live_..."},

print(res.json()["html"][:500])
