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.
Rent cloud GPUs by the second from a global marketplace
Rent from a global pool of 20,000+ GPUs spanning more than 60 GPU types, from RTX 3060-class cards to GB200s, across 40+ data centers.
Choose on-demand for guaranteed uptime, interruptible at 50%+ cheaper, or reserved terms at up to 50% off with guaranteed capacity.
Pay only for the compute you use with per-second billing and no minimum hours, so experiments and short jobs stay affordable.
Provision and optimize instances entirely through code using the CLI, Python SDK, or REST API, which also makes the platform agent-ready.
