02 Capabilities

One API, everything Yahoo throws at you.

Yahoo is a JavaScript-heavy portal: finance quotes and news feeds load dynamically and search is rate-limited at volume. The Crawling API renders it in a real browser, reaches it through residential IPs, and hands you clean HTML or JSON.

render

Full JavaScript rendering

A real browser executes the page, so dynamically loaded news feeds, finance quotes and search results are all captured, not just the initial HTML.

proxies

140M residential IPs

Every request rotates a residential IP across 30 geographies, so you reach Yahoo like a real local visitor.

anti-bot

Blocks handled for you

CAPTCHAs, bot walls and rate limits are cleared automatically. Nothing to solve, nothing to maintain.

format

HTML or JSON

Get the full rendered HTML, or add scraper=generic-extractor to return title, content, images and links as structured JSON.

extras

Screenshots and async

The same call can capture a full-page screenshot, or run asynchronously with webhooks and cloud storage.

one token

One API for every site

The Crawling API works on any URL, so the same token covers Yahoo and everything else you crawl. See the live demo.

03 Output

Rendered HTML, or clean JSON.

By default you get the rendered HTML. Add the generic-extractor and the same page comes back as typed JSON.

04 How it works

From URL to data in one call.

Every Yahoo request moves through the same path. You send a URL, we operate everything in between.

01

Send the URL

Pass any public Yahoo URL with your token: a news article, a finance quote, a search or a sports page.

02

Rotate a proxy

A residential IP and geography that reach Yahoo cleanly, drawn from 140M IPs across 30 regions.

03

Render the page

A real browser loads the page so news feeds, finance quotes and search results render before capture.

04

Clear anti-bot

Yahoo's bot checks and search rate limits are handled automatically. Nothing to solve, nothing to maintain.

05

Return HTML or JSON

The fully rendered HTML comes back, or typed JSON when you add the generic extractor.

06 Notes

Good to know when scraping Yahoo.

Rendered like a real browser

Yahoo is a JavaScript-heavy portal; the Crawling API runs a real browser so news feeds, finance quotes and search results load before capture.

HTML by default, JSON on request

You get the full rendered HTML. Add scraper=generic-extractor for parsed title, content, images and links, or parse the HTML yourself.

Search at volume

Yahoo Search is rate-limited and bot-checked at volume; rotating residential IPs and automatic bot handling keep result pages coming back cleanly.

Reach Yahoo from anywhere

Geotargeting across 30 regions and 140M residential IPs means consistent access to localised news and finance without managing proxies.

07 Why Crawlbase

Built to crawl Yahoo at scale.

The Crawling API runs on the same network that serves 46,000+ paying customers and 70,000+ developers. No proxies to buy, no browsers to run, nothing to patch when Yahoo changes.
