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 managed vector database and knowledge engine for production AI
Store and query vector embeddings with automatic indexing that requires no manual tuning or algorithm selection.
Writes are acknowledged in under 100ms and become searchable within seconds, while all data is searched in parallel so speed holds at scale.
Connect agents to Pinecone through plugins for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, MCP, or a direct REST API with one key.
Serve compiled, governed enterprise knowledge to agents through a single query, cutting token usage and latency versus multi-step RAG loops.
