Target access and billing context
Access
Easy means no protection is recorded; moderate, rate limits or fingerprinting without CAPTCHAs; hard, CAPTCHAs and IP checks that usually call for residential proxies; very hard, all of that plus measures such as TLS fingerprinting, a login wall in front of most data or honeypot links.
Protections in the way
Terms
No terms URL is recorded for this target.
What you scrape moves the bill more than who you buy from. A target that forces JavaScript rendering or a residential exit multiplies the meter before any plan is chosen.

How to tell a site uses DataDome
DataDome Bot Protect is a real-time bot protection service for websites, mobile apps and APIs, run as a JavaScript tag in the page and a check on the site's server. DataDome's own page, read Oct 11, 2026.
| Look for | What it is | Source |
|---|---|---|
datadome cookie | Used by DataDome's server-side and in-page checks to judge whether a request is legitimate. | source |
js.datadome.co/tags.js script | DataDome's JavaScript tag. | source |
api-js.datadome.co script | Where the tag sends the browser's fingerprint. | source |
captcha-delivery.com page | The host DataDome's challenge and CAPTCHA pages load from. | source |
What a blocked request gets back: A request DataDome stops gets its challenge page, with the status code DataDome chooses passed straight to the visitor; its documented example is a 403.source
Whether a blocked request still costs credits depends on the API: most bill only successful requests, and each one's own rule for a 403, a 429 and a 5xx is quoted in the answer linked below.
Every way to get the data from a site behind DataDome
No API documents an endpoint built for a site behind DataDome; each one reaches it through its general scraping endpoint, at the rates above.
Official API: DataDome is a protection a site switches on, not a content platform; any official API belongs to the protected site.
Terms: There is no single terms document for sites behind DataDome; each protected site's operator sets its own content terms and access policy.
What the bill depends on
Getting past DataDome is bought as a mode, not as a separate product: a stealth or premium proxy, JavaScript rendering, or a named bypass, each with its own credits per request. The table prices the mode each API’s own pages name for DataDome. Most of these APIs bill only requests that come back with the page, so a failed attempt costs time rather than credits, but check the vendor’s rule before a large run.
Not in the table
Scrapfly sells a bypass for this protection, but its price is a floor rather than a rate: “The Unblocker starts at 30+ credits per request, scaling with target complexity” (Scrapfly, read Oct 11, 2026). Oxylabs’ Web Unblocker names DataDome among the systems it is built to handle, but its documentation gives no price per request (Oxylabs, read Oct 11, 2026).
Evidence to check before buying
- A mode that gets past DataDome on one site can fail on another, because each site sets its own rules; run a few hundred requests against your own target before you choose a plan.
- A price for getting past a protection is not permission to scrape the site behind it; the site’s own terms still apply.
