Agentic, generative, and classic search in one retrieval platform
Deliver AI-driven keyword and neural results so users find what they are looking for quickly.
Generate suggestions from behavioral cues and personalize results for each user across their journey.
Let shoppers ask questions in natural language and receive grounded answers via retrieval-augmented generation.
Pin products, promote campaigns, and adapt ranking strategies on category and collection pages without engineering support.

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.

A free, AI-powered academic search engine for 240M+ papers across every scientific field


Features a massive marketplace of ready-to-run scrapers, though it operates more as an actor platform than a raw API.
#2Free / Open-sourceProvides cleaner LLM-ready markdown conversion and crawling, but lacks TinyFish's interactive cloud browser automation capabilities.


Offers superior neural web search designed for AI agents, but provides less comprehensive raw browser automation tools.

Search and inference APIs that give AI models real-time web data

Delivers enterprise-grade proxy networks and scraping infrastructure, but involves a steeper learning curve than TinyFish.
The managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI

Excels at converting URLs into clean markdown and embeddings, but lacks dedicated browser actuation and live search endpoints.

Gives you robust headless browser automation and control, but requires more custom development than managed agent APIs.

SpecialistProvides independent web search and agent grounding, but lacks content fetching and browser automation features.

Free / Open-sourceLightning-fast search engine you can self-host or run in the cloud

Fully managed Vector Lakebase and vector database for enterprise AI, built by the creators of Milvus
