Web search API and crawler built for AI agents
Run natural-language or keyword queries against a large independent web index with filters for domain, date and category.
Return cleaned page text and AI-extracted highlights so agents receive the most relevant excerpts instead of entire pages.
Choose fast, balanced or deep search modes so an assistant can answer instantly or run longer grounded research.
Extract structured outputs such as company details, people and other entities for list building and data pipelines.
Agentic web scraper that turns any page into ready-to-use data
Open a page, click extract, and AI proposes the fields worth capturing and returns structured rows — no CSS selectors or drag-and-drop setup.
For popular sites like Amazon, eBay, and Google Maps, pre-built templates return consistent fields instantly without spending AI credits.
Thunderbit can open linked pages and pull details from them, so a results list and its detail pages become a single table in one run.
Summarize, categorize, translate, reformat, or calculate fields as part of the scrape, so exports arrive ready to use.
