Your AI picks the right one for the job. Here's what it has to work with.
spider_crawlFollow links and pull content from an entire site or section.
spider_scrapeGrab one page. No link following, just the content you asked for.
spider_searchSearch the web, then optionally crawl whatever comes back.
spider_linksList every link on a page without downloading anything else.
spider_screenshotFull-page or viewport screenshot, returned as base64.
spider_unblockerGet past bot detection walls that would block a normal request.
spider_transformTurn raw HTML into clean markdown locally. No network call.
spider_get_creditsCheck how many credits you have left.
spider_ai_crawlTell it what to crawl in plain English, like "only product pages".
spider_ai_scrapeDescribe the data you want and get structured JSON back.
spider_ai_searchWeb search that ranks results by what actually matters to your query.
spider_ai_browserDescribe what to do in the browser and it figures out the clicks.
spider_ai_linksExtract links with AI deciding which ones are relevant.
spider_browser_openSpin up a cloud browser with stealth and anti-bot built in.
spider_browser_navigateGo to a URL and wait for the page to finish loading.
spider_browser_clickClick something on the page using a CSS selector.
spider_browser_fillType into a form field.
spider_browser_screenshotTake a screenshot of what the browser sees right now.
spider_browser_contentPull the page HTML or just the visible text.
spider_browser_evaluateRun arbitrary JavaScript on the page.
spider_browser_wait_forPause until a selector appears, a nav finishes, or the network settles.
spider_browser_closeEnd the session and free up the browser.
Why it actually works.
Markdown, not HTML soup
Nav bars, ads, cookie banners, and footers all stripped. You get clean markdown that uses 60–80% fewer tokens than raw HTML, so the context window goes toward your actual task instead of boilerplate.
Sub-second responses
A single page comes back in under a second. Bulk crawls hit 100K+ pages per second. Every slow tool call is dead time where your agent is waiting instead of thinking.
Anti-bot walls handled
Cloudflare, Akamai, PerimeterX, CAPTCHAs. Spider handles all of it so your agent doesn't burn tool calls retrying blocked requests. 99.9% production success on protected sites.
Real browser, not curl
SPAs, lazy-loaded images, infinite scroll, client-rendered content. Spider runs a real browser so you get the page people actually see, not the empty shell HTTP gives you.
Browser you can drive
Open, navigate, click, type, screenshot, run JS, close. Your agent can log into dashboards, fill forms, or walk through multi-step flows the way a person would.
199+ country proxies
Residential, ISP, datacenter. Proxies rotate automatically and geo-restricted content just works. Pass a country code if you need a specific location.
Give your AI web access.
