Ultimate Web ScraperCloud Platform Overview: Scraping in Cloud Browsers
Run and schedule web scraping in cloud browsers with built-in proxies, anti-blocking, and a results dashboard — no computer needed. Start here.
The Cloud Platform runs your extractions in cloud browsers — so your scrapers keep working after you close your laptop, on a recurring schedule if you want, with proxies and anti-blocking built in. Results land in a web dashboard instead of your local browser.
What the cloud gives you
- Runs without your computer. Tasks execute on cloud infrastructure; you check results whenever you like.
- Scheduling from every 10 minutes to monthly.
- Proxies and unblocking — ISP or residential proxies with location choice, plus automatic handling of supported challenges.
- Integrations — push results to Google Sheets or a webhook on every run.
- A web dashboard at /cloud with run history, data tables, exports, and workspaces.
Cloud runs require a paid plan and consume credits — 1 credit per page extracted. Local extraction in the extension stays free and unlimited.

The recommended flow
Build and test locally. Configure the extraction in the extension and run it on your machine — it's free, instant, and easy to iterate on.
Send it to the cloud. Open Run in Cloud in the side panel and pick that working automation. See Running cloud tasks.
Schedule, integrate, monitor. Add a schedule, proxies, or a Google Sheets export, then follow results in the dashboard.
There is no free-form "paste a URL" box in the cloud wizard — you always start from a configuration you've already run locally, which is what makes cloud runs reliable.
