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.
Run and build with open AI models locally or in the cloud
Install once and pull open-weight models by name; Ollama handles weights, quantization and versioning for you.
A built-in server exposes a straightforward REST API, so scripts, editors and agents can talk to local models with minimal setup.
Route requests to hosted open models when your laptop cannot hold the checkpoint you need, with per-token pricing and concurrency tiers.
Access families such as Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral and gpt-oss from a single interface.
SpecialistCloud API gateway providing instant access to thousands of models, trading local hardware privacy for cloud compute.
