Frequently Asked Questions

Clarity before you get started

Here are the most common questions teams ask before using Pullbay.

Pullbay is a data API platform that provides reliable access to public web data through well-maintained, production-ready APIs. We handle maintenance, reliability, and scale so you can focus on building.

In-house scrapers require constant maintenance, proxy management, and manual fixes for platform changes. Pullbay removes this overhead with stable, continuously tested endpoints.

Pullbay provides access to a wide range of public web data through structured APIs. Available endpoints grow over time as new sources are added and existing ones are improved.

Pullbay only provides access to publicly available data and is designed to support compliance. Customers are responsible for using the data according to their legal obligations.

Basic technical knowledge helps, but Pullbay is designed to be straightforward. You can use it via API or connect it to automation tools with minimal setup.

Rate limits are enforced transparently based on your plan. Pullbay manages retries, backoff, and adaptation internally to ensure stable delivery.

Yes. Pullbay is built for sustained, high-volume usage without degrading reliability.

Data is fetched on demand or near real time depending on the endpoint. All endpoints are continuously monitored to reflect current platform behavior.

Each endpoint has a dollar price per item and a minimum billable count. A request fee applies only where listed. Your current plan discount applies once to the total, rounded to the nearest microdollar. The API response shows the amount charged in dollars and the number of items billed. The free signup allowance is granted once and never expires. Purchased top-ups also never expire and remain available after changing or canceling a plan.

Too brittle? Too slow?

Your business deserves data that actually fits.
