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.
SERP and web-to-text APIs built for agents and RAG
Structured JSON results from Google and Bing — including Shopping, Images, News, Videos and Short Videos endpoints — for search features, monitoring and production apps.
Convert URLs, PDFs and Office documents into clean Markdown or HTML, with a configurable JavaScript wait for client-rendered pages.
Pair live SERP results with Reader extraction in one pipeline so agents, RAG systems and LLM workflows answer with current, citable context.
Scale by adding concurrent lanes rather than respecting hourly caps, and stack eligible plans to add lanes to a single account without rebuilding integrations.
