"It took us just 5 minutes to integrate the API into our code, and it just worked."Lenspricer

Lenspricer is a price comparison website for contact lenses from over 20 countries. It scrapes web stores across different countries to compare prices and provide the best deals to its customers.

01Challenge

While expanding its business to various European countries was straightforward, Lenspricer faced significant challenges when it tried to scale the business to the US and Canada. The methods used before, such as changing user agents, using open-source tools, and proxies, didn't work with more protected sites.

02Solution

Lenspricer compared different scraping solutions to collect target data at scale and bypass heavily protected sites, deciding on Zenrows. The API was easy to test and integrate, the support team's answers were quick and helpful, and, most importantly, the service was reliable: the data could be scraped. Now the lens comparison site can keep growing its business and offering the best deals to its visitors worldwide.
