# 4A API

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/558715/4A-API

> 4A is a web data access API for teams that are tired of paying for failed requests. One endpoint handles the hard part of web scraping - i.e. proxy rotation, anti-bot challenges, retries, and JavaScript rendering; escalating each request only as far as the target forces: direct request  \> rotating proxy \> full browser. 

Pricing is pay-per-success: every response is validated, and failed fetches cost nothing. Reuse a working route with proxyId to keep costs down on repeat targets. Built and hosted in the EU. Returns exactly what the source serves (HTML, JSON, XML, text) and you own the structuring step. 

Works as a REST API, SDKs, or as an MCP server (foura.ai/mcp) for AI agents in Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. Free tier, no card required.

## Reviews

### "EU-based web data infrastructure that is up to vendor due diligence" — 5.0/5

> **Peter** | *13 July 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Good commercial model: They bill only for validated, successful requests, which makes my spending predictable and auditable, so I don't pay for failures or idle time-based proxy rental. As someone who assesses vendors for regulated business sectors, I find that EU-hosted infrastructure matters: data residency is clean, and the vendor-assessment conversation is short. One endpoint replaces the built-in-house stack of proxies, browser automation, and retry logic, which, for me, also means fewer systems to secure and audit. They are a small team, but responsive in a way large providers aren't.
> 
> **Cons**: It's a young platform: parts of the roadmap (scheduled scraping, webhook callbacks) aren't there yet, and the documentation is good, but still growing into the product's actual capabilities.
> 
> We use 4A in the context of pulling information from multiple regulatory bodies. Setup was done in couple of hours, and it has been reliably fetching what we need since, including from sites with aggressive bot/scraping protection. For teams in regulated environments who need web data without building scraping infrastructure themselves, it's an easy recommendation.

### "It Just Worked" — 5.0/5

> **Pavel** | *14 July 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It gives us one reliable way to access very different web sources without managing proxies, browser infrastructure, retries, or anti-bot issues ourselves. That saves us a lot of engineering time and lets us focus on the actual product.
> 
> **Cons**: The documentation and debugging tools could be a bit more detailed, especially when diagnosing failed requests or choosing the best strategy for a specific website.
> 
> We basically gave the FourA documentation to our AI agent, and it just worked. The integration was that straightforward.
