About Parse

Parse lets developers build APIs for any website. Unlike traditional scraping tools that rely on slow, expensive headless browsers, Parse examines websites' underlying network requests and generates API endpoints automatically. This makes Parse 10-100x faster and cheaper than browser automation,.

Alex Forman

I've been obsessed with web automation since I was 12, when I taught myself to code building sneaker bots. That early experience showed me how broken traditional scraping tools were. I launched Parse in August, hit 30K users in 3 weeks, and dropped out of Berkeley Engineering to make it the best way to programmatically interact with the internet.
