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.
Pre-built AI API endpoints that return clean JSON
More than 30 endpoints span resume parsing, job matching, invoice extraction, translation, SEO tags, content summarization, sentiment and product description generation.
Test real endpoints in the browser on bundled sample documents and text, and see the same JSON your application would receive.
Turn any AI prompt into your own production REST API endpoint when the standard catalog does not cover a bespoke need.
Each subscription holds at least one credit that grants a monthly word quota; credits can be added or removed as volume changes.
