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 collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
