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.
Real human data for AI training, evals, and research — in minutes
Access hundreds of thousands of vetted participants across 40+ countries, with demographic screening so you can target the exact population your study or evaluation needs.
Purpose-built workflows for collecting human preference judgments, red-teaming feedback, and benchmark ratings for large language and multimodal models.
Programmatic access that lets engineering teams pipe real human feedback into model evaluation and agent workflows without leaving their own tooling.
Launch a study in minutes, set quotas and reward levels, and scale sample sizes up or down while keeping response quality consistent.
