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.

The AI browser that reads between your tabs
Starts the day with a consolidated view of your calendar, inbox and key links so you know what is coming before work begins.
Ask once and Dia searches open tabs along with connected Slack, Notion, Teams, GSuite and other tools to answer with full context.
Requests for a deck or a summary come back as presentable slides and shareable reports rather than raw chat text.
Surfaces where work is actually happening, like a specific pull request or spec draft, so one click lands you in the right place.
