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.
Turn any text, PDF, image or book into lifelike AI speech
Voices trained on large language models deliver lifelike delivery, while Content Aware voices read the text and adjust tone to fit the material.
Speak in over 90 languages and create a custom multilingual AI voice by uploading or recording your own.
Read PDFs, Word documents, ePub, web pages and images, and scan physical books with the built-in OCR camera scanner.
Turn long readings into AI podcasts, get instant recaps, analyse screenshots and equations, chat with your document and generate practice quizzes.
