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.
AI-written cold emails, LinkedIn notes and backlink pitches built from real prospect research
The tool scans dozens of public sources per prospect — including podcasts, interviews, press articles, blog posts and social profiles — and turns the most relevant detail into a natural, specific opening line.
Beyond the first line, SmartWriter drafts the pitch body, call to action and closing based on what the prospect's company does, recent news or a case study it finds.
Generate personalized connection notes and follow-up messages that reference a prospect's posts, job history, achievements or recommendations.
A dedicated workflow for link building: it finds pages that already link to a competitor-style resource and drafts a substitution or insertion pitch.
