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.
One API key for hundreds of AI models from every major provider
Six hundred plus models for text, image, video, audio, transcription, embeddings, and reranking behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Requests are rerouted to another provider on outages or rate limits by default, so you don't write custom retry logic.
The auto-router selects a model and provider per request using live marketplace performance and pricing data.
Track spend, tokens, and usage per model, provider, and team member in one place, including bring-your-own-key usage.
