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-time search engine scraping API with structured JSON, HTML, or Markdown output
Pull on-demand search results from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Yandex, with support for many localized domains and languages.
Receive responses as structured JSON, raw HTML, or Markdown, so pipelines can consume results without custom parsing when you want the fast path.
Proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and unblocking are handled by the API, so you do not have to build or maintain that infrastructure.
Target results from a specific country or language at no extra cost, useful for local SEO and international market research.
