Terms & Conditions

Introduction

Welcome to InstantAPI.ai (“we,” “us” or “our”). By accessing or using our website, API, Chrome extension, and related services (collectively, the “Services”), you (“User” or “you”) acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be legally bound by these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you do not accept or agree with these Terms, you must not use the Services.

You confirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) and capable of entering into a binding contract. If you represent a legal entity, you warrant that you are authorized to bind that entity to these Terms.

Service Description

InstantAPI.ai provides a web scraping and data extraction platform that leverages AI-driven scraping, rotating proxies, CAPTCHA bypass, and other tools to let you collect data from websites — including Google Search result pages — quickly and affordably. Key features include:

1. Scrape Any Website: Supply a URL (Amazon pages, Google results, or other sites) and specify the data you need.
2. AI-Driven Extraction: Use natural language or JSON schemas to describe desired data. Our AI identifies and structures it.
3. Unlimited Concurrency & Geotargeting: Run multiple scrapes simultaneously with no minimum spend.
4. CAPTCHA Bypass & Proxy Rotation: We rotate proxies and mimic human-like behavior to reduce or bypass anti-bot measures.
5. Pay-Per-Use: Billed per successful page scrape, with no monthly minimum.

While we strive for high success rates, external factors (such as website policy changes or third-party outages) may affect performance. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service, nor ensure that data you collect is lawful for your intended use. You bear responsibility for compliance with applicable laws or third-party terms.

Acceptable Use & Compliance

1. Lawful and Authorized Use: You represent that your usage will not violate any applicable laws or third-party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights. You must have permissions or licenses from content owners if required.
2. Prohibited Content/Activities: You will not use our Services to obtain or transmit harmful, offensive, or illegal content. You will not engage in spam, harassment, or any activity that disrupts or harms the Services or third parties.
3. Service Integrity: You agree not to circumvent security measures or overload our systems. You will not reverse engineer or misuse our platform in ways that violate law or others’ rights.
4. Account Usage: Your account and API keys are for your use only; do not share them. You are responsible for all actions taken under your credentials until you close the account or report misuse. If you suspect unauthorized access, notify us immediately.
5. Compliance with Standards: If you scrape personal data, you must comply with data protection laws. InstantAPI.ai provides the tools but does not guarantee your compliance with laws governing your collected data.

Compliance with Third-Party Terms

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services to scrape or otherwise collect data from third-party websites may be subject to those websites’ terms of service, acceptable use policies, robots.txt directives, or other legal restrictions (“Third-Party Terms”). By using our Services, you represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary permissions, licenses, or consents to perform your scraping activities. InstantAPI.ai neither encourages nor endorses any violation of Third-Party Terms, and you bear sole responsibility for determining the legality of your data collection practices. Any breach of Third-Party Terms or applicable law in connection with your use of the Services is strictly prohibited.

Payments & Billing

1. Pay-Per-Use Model: Our standard model charges a per-page-scrape fee with no minimum spend. The exact rate is shown on our site (e.g., $0.005/page). We may change pricing with at least 30 days’ notice via email or site announcement.
2. Payment Processing: We partner with secure payment providers (e.g., Stripe, Chargebee) to handle billing. By providing a payment method, you authorize charges for usage fees and applicable taxes. Keep payment details current to avoid disruptions.
3. No Refunds: All fees are generally non-refundable once incurred. If you believe a billing error occurred, contact us within 30 days of the charge. We will investigate and correct confirmed errors.
4. Suspension for Non-Payment: If your payment method fails or charges are declined, we may suspend or terminate your account until resolved. You remain liable for any unpaid amounts.

Data Handling & Privacy

We process your scraping requests in real time and do not permanently store scraped content except as needed for troubleshooting or if agreed upon for custom enterprise solutions. We may log metadata (timestamps, target URLs, etc.) to calculate usage and improve performance. Our Privacy Policy (incorporated by reference) explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. By using our Services, you consent to the practices described there.
