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.
Enterprise developer platform and API for deploying GPT-6 Astra, Sol, Luna, and realtime multimodal agents.
Spanning GPT-6 Astra ($10/$50 per MTok), GPT-6.1 Sol ($2/$10), GPT-6.1 Terra ($1/$5), and GPT-6 Luna ($0.10/$0.50), all with a 1,050,000-token context window and 128K max output.
Tune thinking token budgets per API request across six granularity levels (`none`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`) to balance latency, accuracy, and cost.
Combine model inference with hosted web search, file search, function calling, and autonomous GUI computer-use actions in a single stateful API call.
Build ultra-low-latency multimodal voice agents billed per second ($0.05/minute) without rounding up to whole minutes.
Provides direct API access to Google's Gemini models with generous free prototyping tiers, but lacks OpenAI's ecosystem breadth.
