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 scale durable AI agents on your own infrastructure
Every Actor gets a SQLite database and a filesystem, so an agent's memory and progress survive restarts and idle periods without a separate database.
Run untrusted or AI-generated code on your own infrastructure with fine-grained control over network access, filesystem permissions, and resource limits.
A node failure reschedules its Actors elsewhere with state intact, and multi-step work replays after a crash — with no checkpointing harness to build yourself.
Address an Actor directly over HTTP or hold a live WebSocket, and use the React SDK to subscribe components to an Actor's state in real time.

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.

SpecialistEnterprise proxy infrastructure with powerful scraping tools, but significantly higher complexity and pricing for simple markdown conversion.


Free / Open-sourceThe TypeScript framework for building, deploying, and observing AI agents


Provides excellent URL-to-Markdown document reading and neural search endpoints, but narrower full-site crawling depth.

SpecialistCloud browsers for AI agents, scraping, and automation that won't get blocked
The low-cost cloud sandbox where AI agents actually live

Self-hosted cloud development environments and AI coding agents for enterprise teams
Free / Open-sourceUses natural language prompts for extraction with open-source flexibility, but less optimized for massive enterprise crawling.
