Web data API that turns any site into clean, AI-ready content
Multiple endpoints cover discovery, single-page extraction, whole-site crawling, and URL mapping from one API.
Returns Markdown, structured JSON, HTML, links, and screenshots while stripping navigation, ads, and footers to cut token usage.
After scraping, drive clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation with prompts or code to reach data behind interaction.
Python and Node SDKs, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server let agents and IDEs connect in minutes.
One API key for agent-grade web search, fetch, browsing and automation
Real browser-rendered search that returns structured JSON with fresh, uncached results from the live web, with no search fee.
Convert any URL into token-efficient Markdown, JSON or HTML, stripping navigation bars, cookie banners and ads before they reach your model.
Full cloud browser sessions with persistent state that you drive with Playwright, Puppeteer or the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Give an agent a goal in plain English and it navigates, fills forms and returns structured results; monitoring fires alerts when a tracked page or topic changes.
Features a massive marketplace of ready-to-run scrapers, though it operates more as an actor platform than a raw API.
