One scraping API that turns any website into agent-ready JSON
Extract any URL as Markdown, JSON, screenshot, or HTML; list every URL on a domain; and crawl whole sites with depth, include/exclude rules, and async streaming.
Pre-built read and write operations for sites that have no public API — Amazon product search, LinkedIn messaging, Reddit and Twitter posts, Zillow listings, and thousands more, all in one consistent request shape.
A multi-stage plan-search-read-verify pipeline returns structured, cited answers, while the Search API delivers full page content per result so it plugs directly into retrieval pipelines.
Exposes the platform as tools inside Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients, with documented setups for Zapier, Make, n8n, Dify, LangChain and CrewAI.

Web data infrastructure for scraping, proxies, and AI-ready datasets
Unlocker, SERP, Browser, and Crawl APIs fetch and parse public pages, handle anti-bot measures and CAPTCHAs, and return results in JSON, HTML, or Markdown.
Residential, ISP, and datacenter proxy pools with country, city, and ASN targeting, plus proxy management APIs for rotation and session control.
Structured endpoints for well-known domains such as LinkedIn, Amazon, and social platforms, delivering fresh records on demand or on a schedule.
Purchase or filter pre-collected datasets across business, e-commerce, social, and real-estate categories with billions of records available.
