Repository

Searches and scrapes websites through an API, returning Markdown, JSON, or screenshots with browser controls.

Overview

Use case: Source-backed content preparation

A web data API for AI agents that combines search, scraping, and browser interaction. It returns Markdown, structured JSON, and screenshots, and can parse documents or crawl websites to supply application context.

Developers can obtain a hosted API key and use SDKs, command-line calls, or MCP connections. Search results can include page content, while interaction commands click or scroll before extraction to gather information from dynamic pages.
