WebCrawlerAPI

WebCrawlerAPI is a crawling and scraping API that takes a seed URL, follows links across a site, and returns page content as clean markdown. It also handles single-page scraping, and it offers an AI agent mode that returns structured JSON instead of raw text — useful when you need extracted fields rather than full documents.

Crawls are configurable. You can cap the number of pages with items_limit, set a max_depth, and scope the crawl using include/exclude regex rules plus whitelist/blacklist settings. Jobs run asynchronously: results arrive via webhook or can be fetched by polling. Output formats include markdown, cleaned text, HTML, and a list of links, and the company's comparison page states that crawls support JavaScript rendering.

Pricing is per page. The site quotes about $3 for a 2,000-page site and says you pay only for pages that succeed. Its comparison page lists crawl rates of $2 per 1,000 pages on pay-as-you-go, $1.50 per 1,000 on Professional, and $1 per 1,000 on Business.

Best for:

• Feeding site content into LLM apps or AI agents as clean markdown
• Ingesting documentation or help-center pages into a knowledge base
• Support bots that need current product or policy pages
• Automation workflows that need structured JSON via the AI agent mode
• One-off site crawls where paying only for successful pages matters
