Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check ScrapingBee every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

google

get_google_search_results

This is a FALLBACK tool — use fast_search first for general web searches. Only use this tool when you need specialized search types that fast_search does not support: news, maps, Google Lens, shopping, image search, or Google AI mode. Scrape Google search results using ScrapingBee and return the results. This tool can scrape normal results, news results, maps results, search using google lens, shopping related results, image results, and get the result from Google's AI mode. It can even return the HTML along with the search results. Scope: one query per call. To run many queries in one pass, or to write results to disk instead of into the conversation, use the ScrapingBee CLI — `scrapingbee <command> --input-file queries.txt --output-dir results`.

ScrapingBee — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can ScrapingBee do?

It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: ask_chatgpt, ask_gemini, extract_page_data, fast_search, get_amazon_pricing, get_amazon_product_details and 12 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

What is ScrapingBee mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around amazon, youtube and ask. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is ScrapingBee working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 185 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect ScrapingBee?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does ScrapingBee need an API key?

No. ScrapingBee completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is ScrapingBee?

It answers our handshake in 185 ms on average, which is faster than 65% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is ScrapingBee open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
