How it Works

  1. You send a request - Just an HTTP POST with the URL you want to crawl
  2. We handle the hard parts - Proxies, retries, browser rendering, IP rotation
  3. You get clean data - HTML, search results, or screenshots ready to use
Each request costs 1 credit. Simple pricing, no surprises.
