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.
The versioned filesystem built for AI agents
A 100% POSIX-compatible mount so agents and sandboxes use familiar Unix tools, with persistence, sync and version history handled transparently underneath.
Fork a workspace in milliseconds to run dozens of agents on isolated branches, then pick the best result without file locking.
Snapshot the entire filesystem at every step and restore any past state with a single API call when an agent goes off track.
Pause any agent for review, build approval queues and policy gates, then resume from the exact same workspace state.

Combines live web search and cloud browsers for agentic automation, but less specialized in clean markdown generation.
Optimized for semantic web search and AI agent retrieval, but less focused on full-site markdown crawling.
Bundles deep research agents and web search APIs, but less centered on raw site-to-markdown conversion.
