Hey PH 👋 I'm Curtis, solo founder. I built DreamScrape because I was tired of paying browser-tier prices for scrapes that didn't need a browser. Most scraping APIs charge you the same flat rate whether the site needs headless Chrome or just `curl`. DreamScrape tries the cheapest engine first — plain HTTP, then JA4 TLS impersonation (bypasses Cloudflare without a browser), then stealth browser, then anti-detect Firefox. You only pay for the engine that worked. Two things I'm proud of: 1) **Auto-discovered APIs.** Browser scrapes capture every XHR/fetch call we see. If there's a clean internal JSON endpoint, future requests for that domain replay the API directly — HTTP speed, 1 credit. Sites with discovered APIs end up ~10x cheaper, ~15x faster. 2) **Honest scorecard.** /scorecard publishes pass/fail rates across 163+ tracked domains, including the failures. No cherry-picking. Free tier is 2,000 credits/mo (HTTP + JA4). Use code `HACKERNEWS` to double it to 4,000. Curious what scraping pain you've hit recently — the roadmap is shaped by real targets people share. Drop the URL that's been frustrating you and I'll run it through /scan to show you what's actually blocking the request.
