What can the ScrapeNinja Make integration do for you?
The ScrapeNinja Make integration lets a Make scenario (the automation you build, a chain of modules) call ScrapeNinja for you. Each module is one brick of that chain. ScrapeNinja brings three of them, all actions, so something else has to start the scenario: a schedule or another app.
Scrape pages listed in another tool. A trigger from the app that holds your URLs starts the scenario, and Scrape fetches each page. What comes back travels as a bundle, meaning one item passed from a module to the next, ready to be stored wherever your team works.
Switch to a browser run when a page resists. Some sites only show their content once a browser has loaded them. Scrape (Real browser) is the module named for that case; the Make documentation does not describe how it differs, so compare both on the same page with a test run.
Reach the rest of the ScrapeNinja API. Make an API Call calls any endpoint of the API with the connection you already set up, which covers what the two scraping modules leave out.
Keep the limits in mind. The Make documentation for this app is short: it lists no fields and no quotas, and its own note says the content was AI-generated from the vendor docs and should be checked. Anything specific belongs to the ScrapeNinja documentation. If you are weighing tools, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the differences, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted. To learn the editor step by step, the Make training covers it from the first module.
How do you connect ScrapeNinja to Make?
- 01
Get your API key from RapidAPI
Make reaches ScrapeNinja with an API key, so you need an active account on RapidAPI or APIRoad and a ScrapeNinja subscription there. On RapidAPI, open your dashboard, pick ScrapeNinja in your subscribed APIs and copy the key shown in the authentication section.
- 02
Add a ScrapeNinja module
In your scenario, add any ScrapeNinja module and click Create a connection. A connection is your ScrapeNinja account linked to Make once, then reused by every module of the app. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps later.
- 03
Paste the key and save
Paste the API key you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, then save. From now on, the three modules pick this connection from a list instead of asking for the key again.
Build your first scenario with ScrapeNinja
GoalWhen a new page address shows up in the app where you track URLs, Make scrapes it with ScrapeNinja and hands the result to the next module.
- 01
Create the scenario
On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. ScrapeNinja has no trigger, so start with the trigger of the app that holds your list of pages.
- 02
Add Scrape and connect
Click the + to the right of that first module, search for ScrapeNinja and choose Scrape. Click Create a connection and paste your RapidAPI key if you have not done so yet.
- 03
Map the page address
Fill the fields of Scrape by mapping data from the first module, so each new item in your list becomes one request. Each run of a module on one bundle counts as an operation on your Make plan.
- 04
Test with Run once
Click Run once and open the bundles each module received. If the content of a page comes back empty or incomplete, try the same address with Scrape (Real browser) and compare.
- 05
Schedule and switch on
Set the schedule on the first module (a new scenario runs every 15 minutes by default) and switch the scenario on. Add a module after Scrape to store what it returns where your team reads it.
What each ScrapeNinja module does
ScrapeNinja gives you 3 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.
Make an API Call
ActionIn the docs onlyThis module gives you access to any endpoint of the ScrapeNinja API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, so you never paste the key twice.
Scrape
ActionIn the docs onlyScrape is the standard ScrapeNinja action: it sends one scraping request per bundle it receives and passes the response on to the next module of your scenario, where you can store or filter it.
Scrape (Real browser)
ActionIn the docs onlyScrape (Real browser) is the second scraping action, and its name says it runs the request through a real browser. The Make documentation gives no further detail on how it behaves compared with Scrape.
