Give your agents the whole web, as data.
Crawl, scrape and search the web with one API. Get clean markdown or JSON back for your agents.

}# The Rust Programming Language
*by Steve Klabnik, Carol Nichols, and Chris Krycho, with contributions from the Rust Community* This version of the text assumes you’re using Rust 1.90.0 (released 2025-09-18) or later with `edition = "2024"` in the *Cargo.toml* file of all projects to configure them to use Rust 2024 Edition idioms.Three products. One key.
Use the API, the browser or the proxy network on their own. This example shows one crawl passing through all three.
- api.spider.cloud waiting 200 · 30 pages
Example trace, step one: the API receives POST /crawl for doc.rust-lang.org/book, hands the job to the browser, waits, and returns 30 pages of markdown with status 200. Captured 2026-09-05.
Crawl, scrape, search
Whole sites or single pages, returned as markdown, JSON, links or screenshots. Search the web from the same key.
See the API - browser.spider.cloud session · waiting session · open session · closed
Step two: the browser waits for the API, takes the request as session demo-01, routes it through a German ISP exit on the network, loads each page, and hands the result back to the API.
A browser we wrote
Headless, written from scratch in Rust. Stealth and CAPTCHA solving are on by default, up to 100 sessions at once.
See the browser - proxy.spider.cloud waiting DE · ISP DE · ISP
Step three: the network waits for the browser, takes its request, routes demo-01 through an ISP exit in Germany rotating per request, fetches each page, and returns them. 215M+ IPs in 199 countries.
The network underneath
215M+ residential and ISP exits in 199 countries, rotated per request. Works with our browser or yours.
See proxy locations
Use the whole web like a dataset.
Most websites have no API. Spider renders their pages and extracts the content for your RAG pipeline or agent.
Two figures, each with its source.
Renders like a user
JavaScript, infinite scroll, lazy media. The page as a person sees it.
request: "browser"Handles anti-bot checks
CAPTCHAs and geo walls, handled by the browser and the network together.
stealth: trueExtracts the content
Clean markdown or structured JSON from the rendered page.
return_format: "markdown"Streams in order
Whole sites arrive page by page while the crawl runs. Nothing waits for the last URL.
