Web data API that turns any site into clean, AI-ready content
Multiple endpoints cover discovery, single-page extraction, whole-site crawling, and URL mapping from one API.
Returns Markdown, structured JSON, HTML, links, and screenshots while stripping navigation, ads, and footers to cut token usage.
After scraping, drive clicks, typing, scrolling, and navigation with prompts or code to reach data behind interaction.
Python and Node SDKs, REST API, CLI, and an MCP server let agents and IDEs connect in minutes.
An autonomous AI agent that finds and summarises trending research papers.
An agent continuously scans research repositories to find the papers gaining attention, so you see what is hot without searching yourself.
Long, technical papers are condensed into short, readable summaries you can skim in minutes before deciding what to read in full.
Coverage reaches across AI pre-prints and biomedical literature, pulling from sources like arXiv, PubMed and OpenReview.
Rather than a raw feed, the tool highlights the key ideas and takeaways from each paper so you can follow the field's direction.
