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.
A paid, ad-free search engine that answers to its users
Subscriptions replace advertising, so there are no sponsored results, affiliate links, or data sales influencing what you see.
Rank any website up or down, pin favorites, or block domains entirely so your results match your own standards.
Append a question mark to get an AI answer above the results, or chat with the Assistant for deeper tasks with sources included.
Restrict searches to categories like forums or news, or jump straight into a specific site's own search with shortcuts.
