Web scraping for AI agents. Converts URLs to clean, LLM-ready Markdown with anti-bot bypass.
Web scraping for AI agents: scrape, search, crawl, map any website to markdown + JSON. No browser.
Unblocking and fresh web data for agents: URL to Markdown, YouTube, Maps, Amazon, jobs. Pay per call
Web scraping for agents. Point it at a URL and it returns the page as clean markdown, JavaScript-rendered pages included. Point it at a site and it maps the URLs or crawls the section you need in the background, a few pages at a time so results fit in the conversation. Search the web and read full pages, extract fields with a JSON schema you define (validated, never invented), read a store's catalogue or a blog's posts from the platform's own feed, and check whether a page has changed. Failed requests cost nothing. The free plan includes 1,500 credits a month.
