Web data and scraping APIs

market profile

  • text: AI agents and data pipelines need fresh structured website data without maintaining site-specific extraction infrastructure.
  • text: Retail and marketplace teams also buy managed feeds for pricing, availability and assortment intelligence.

personas

  • title: AI application engineer
    pains:
    • Agents need current web content in structured formats, but site changes break brittle scrapers.
    • Operating browsers and extraction infrastructure adds latency and maintenance.
  • title: Data engineering lead
    pains:
    • Data pipelines must cover many sites and countries with consistent outputs.
    • Failed collection or stale data undermines downstream analysis.
  • title: E-commerce pricing leader
    pains:
    • Competitor prices and stock change across marketplaces and regions.
    • Manual monitoring misses assortment gaps and delays pricing decisions.

icp

  • text: Developer-led startups and AI product teams that need programmatic web access can start on a free tier.
  • text: Large e-commerce, food delivery, grocery and ride-hailing operators with multi-market monitoring requirements fit the enterprise offer.
  • text: The company reports serving more than 50 billion-dollar companies across over 100 countries; account size is not restricted to enterprise.

message pillars

  • text: Give agents a single API for the web.
  • text: Reduce setup friction for first use.
  • text: Scale across scraping, search and site-specific endpoints.

objections

  • objection: Will the API work reliably on our specific sites?
    response: Test representative sites and compare freshness, extraction accuracy and failed calls before committing to a larger plan.
  • objection: Can costs grow unpredictably as volumes increase?
    response: Model credit consumption by endpoint and test the expected monthly volume; the pricing page describes endpoint credit rates.
  • objection: Can an enterprise rely on it for a critical feed?
    response: Review the enterprise SLA, support and data handling terms against the intended use case.
