Yes, ScrapingBee is a legitimate service. It provides a user-friendly web scraping API that offers various features required for large-scale web scraping and to prevent getting blocked, including proxies and JavaScript rendering. It is recommended for developers seeking a simple solution for extracting data, which can be seamlessly integrated with their existing code for data processing. However, it may be limiting for developers with advanced web scraping knowledge, as they are required to follow the rules set by ScrapingBee's API and have restricted control over the entire data extraction process. Additionally, ScrapingBee lacks an integrated solution for managing data extraction flows in the cloud. This can be inconvenient since you would need to find a separate cloud provider or set up your own infrastructure.
