What it is
Megalania: the homepage
Megalania is a scraping API and MCP server that retrieves web pages as HTML, Markdown, or JSON. It starts with the cheapest HTTP datacenter route and automatically escalates to more expensive routes (HTTP residential, browser datacenter, browser residential) only when sites block requests. Users are not charged for requests that result in detected blocks. The service includes batching for multiple URLs, monitoring for page changes, and LLM extraction capabilities. It integrates with AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code through an MCP server, allowing agents to read the web without API keys.

Quick answers
Can you render JavaScript?
Yes, Megalania uses a real Chrome browser on datacenter or residential IPs. JavaScript rendering is used only when a plain fetch does not retrieve the page or when explicitly requested.
What do I pay when a site blocks you?
Nothing. Blocked requests cost zero credits. The X-Billing header shows the block, and X-Credits-Charged indicates what the request cost.
Do you solve captchas or scrape behind logins?
No. Megalania reads only public pages. If a page requires login or a solved captcha, the service stops and reports this to you.
What does the beta cost?
Nothing. Beta participants get 76,000 credits for 30 days with no card required. Access is granted in waves of 20 applicants.
Is my target list private?
Megalania stores only the host, route, and credits for each request. URLs, headers, and cookies are never kept, except when needed: batches keep URLs for 7 days after completion, and monitors keep URLs while running.
