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.
Sign up and run requests before you buy. Or copy the setup prompt into your coding agent.

}# 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.
Start with the API. The browser and the proxy network also work on their own. The trace below is one crawl through all three.
- api.spider.cloud waiting 200 · 30 pages
Step one of an example trace, captured 2026-09-05. The API receives POST /crawl for doc.rust-lang.org/book with a limit of 30, hands the job to the browser, waits, and returns 30 pages of markdown totalling 331 kilobytes with status 200. Every page came back 200. demo-01 is an illustrative correlation id, not an API field.
- browser.spider.cloud session · waiting session · open session · closed
Step two. The browser opens a session, accepts the request from the API, routes it through an ISP exit in Germany, loads each of the 30 pages from doc.rust-lang.org/book, and hands the markdown back to the API before closing the session. demo-01 is an illustrative correlation id, not an API field.
- proxy.spider.cloud waiting DE · ISP DE · ISP
Step three. The network accepts the browser's request and routes it through an ISP exit in Germany, rotating the exit per request, then fetches the 30 pages from doc.rust-lang.org/book and returns them to the browser. The pool is 215M+ exits in 199 countries. demo-01 is an illustrative correlation id, not an API field.
Crawl, scrape, search
Whole sites or single pages, returned as markdown, JSON, links or screenshots. Search the web from the same key.
See the APIA 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 browserThe network underneath
215M+ residential and ISP exits in 199 countries, rotated per request. Works with our browser or yours.
See proxy locationsUse 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.
