Live web data in any n8n workflow.
Crawl, scrape, search, screenshot, or transform URLs from a single node. 7 operations, one API key, results flow straight into the next step.

Seven ways to get web data.
Drop the Spider node, pick the operation that matches the step.
spider_crawlWalk an entire site. Follow links, respect depth limits, return clean structured content.
spider_scrapeExtract content from a single URL. Markdown, HTML, or plain text ready for the next node.
spider_searchSearch the web and get results with full page content in one request.
spider_linksPull every hyperlink from a page. Use it to map site structure or seed downstream crawls.
spider_screenshotCapture a full-page or viewport PNG. Useful for monitoring and archival.
spider_transformConvert any URL into markdown, HTML, plain text, or XML — reshape web content for downstream nodes.
spider_get_creditsRead your remaining API balance from inside a workflow.
The hard parts are handled.
LLM-ready output
Markdown, HTML, plain text, or XML. Structured content ready to feed into any AI model or downstream pipeline.
Handles bot protection
CAPTCHAs, fingerprinting, and bot detection are handled transparently. Cloudflare, Akamai, PerimeterX.
JavaScript rendering
Dynamic sites rendered in a real browser. SPAs, client-side content, infinite scroll.
Geo routing
Pin requests to a country or region without provisioning a proxy fleet. 199 supported countries.
Clean content
Strips navigation, ads, and boilerplate so only the meaningful content reaches the next node.
Built for throughput
Async architecture and smart retry mean workflows do not wait on the data layer.
