High-quality human data for AI training, evaluation, and research
Filter participants by detailed demographic, professional, and behavioural criteria and reach narrow or representative samples rather than a generic crowd.
Collect human preference data for model fine-tuning, run safety evaluations and red-teaming, and use a feedback API to plug humans into automated pipelines.
Attention checks, honesty screening, and approval workflows help filter out careless or fraudulent responses before you analyse results.
Publish a study and begin collecting responses quickly, with tooling that supports screening, quotas, and longitudinal designs.
One API key for agent-grade web search, fetch, browsing and automation
Real browser-rendered search that returns structured JSON with fresh, uncached results from the live web, with no search fee.
Convert any URL into token-efficient Markdown, JSON or HTML, stripping navigation bars, cookie banners and ads before they reach your model.
Full cloud browser sessions with persistent state that you drive with Playwright, Puppeteer or the Chrome DevTools Protocol.
Give an agent a goal in plain English and it navigates, fills forms and returns structured results; monitoring fires alerts when a tracked page or topic changes.
Features a massive marketplace of ready-to-run scrapers, though it operates more as an actor platform than a raw API.
