Very difficult to promise ZDR if you’re scraping Google and Bing.

Didn't both Google and Bing discontinue their search APIs, or was that something different?

Basically, yes. Everyone is just scraping them with residential proxies.

The internet is devolving before our eyes. Use a nicely, stable API with an SLO for a small fee or scrape via a Candy Crush clone running on some grandmas iPad in Nebraska... hard choice.

exa has zdr, but they charge for the 'feature' of not storing your data

Thanks for raising this! We're looking into this discrepancy (I work at Exa).
