Crawl API
Crawl API
Our Crawl API combines HTML extraction API, raw page scraper, and headless browser API into a unified web crawler interface. Designed for large-scale and recurring web data collection, this Crawl API lets you define crawl rules once and automatically collect structured data across thousands or millions of pages.
Crawl API enables developers and data teams to programmatically crawl entire websites or large URL sets.
It manages crawling logic, request scheduling, and anti-bot protection, allowing you to focus on data extraction rather than infrastructure.
Crawl API Use Cases
Automate Large-Scale Data Collection Across the Web
Web Data Collection
Crawl API allows teams to collect large volumes of public web data across entire websites. It is ideal for building datasets that require full site coverage, such as product catalogs, article archives, or directory-style content.
Market & Competitive Intelligence
By continuously crawling competitor websites, businesses can monitor pricing changes, content updates, and product launches over time. Crawl API makes it easy to detect trends and respond quickly to market movements.
SEO & Website Analysis
Crawl API helps SEO teams analyze site structure, internal links, metadata, and indexability at scale. By crawling large numbers of pages, teams can identify technical issues and optimize site performance more effectively.
AI & Data Pipelines
Crawl API supports long-term data collection for AI and machine learning workflows. Crawled data can be stored, updated on a schedule, and used for training models, knowledge bases, or large-scale analysis.
