About Us 
At Spider.com, we are building an intuitive &powerful API company.

We provide an API for Amazon product information, travel pricing, real estate data, search engine SERP results, and other structured data found on big sites. As a Residential Proxy we don’t get blocked when crawling the web because of Spider's home grown “Spider” Income™ client that connects us with millions of devices. Anyone can download and install our Spider Income™ desktop software and start collecting passive income from Spider for being part of our network.
