The web scraping API for AI

Web scraping API that turns any website into clean, LLM-ready data

Crawl at scale, render JavaScript and extract structured fields. Get back markdown or JSON that your RAG apps and AI agents can use, from one API call. Public, permitted data only.

Why ClawEngine

Clean data for AI, without running a scraper fleet

ClawEngine handles crawling, JavaScript rendering and structured extraction so you ship retrieval, not infrastructure. Every result is tuned to be LLM-ready.

LLM-ready output by default

Get clean markdown or typed JSON with the nav, ads and boilerplate stripped out. Ready to chunk, embed and feed straight into a RAG pipeline or an agent.

One call: crawl, render, extract

A single API call crawls the page, renders the JavaScript in a headless browser, and extracts the fields you define. No multi-step glue code.

Scale without ops

Managed crawling at volume. No proxy rotation, no headless-browser fleet, no retry logic to babysit. Point it at a site and collect clean data.

Compliance-first by design

ClawEngine respects robots.txt and site Terms of Service and honors crawl-delay. Built for public, permitted data, so your pipeline stays defensible.

One API for markdown, JSON and schema extraction, across any public site.

How it works

How a web scraping API call works in three steps

From a URL to LLM-ready data, ClawEngine runs the whole crawl. No proxies to rotate, no headless browsers to manage, no boilerplate to strip by hand.

01 / CRAWL

Point it at a URL

Send a URL or a domain to crawl. ClawEngine fetches the page, follows links you allow, and honors robots.txt and crawl-delay along the way.

02 / RENDER

Render the JavaScript

Pages are rendered in a managed headless browser, so client-side content, infinite scroll and dynamic tables come through fully loaded.

03 / EXTRACT

Get clean, typed data

Receive clean markdown, structured JSON, or fields typed to a schema you define. Ready to chunk, embed and feed to your RAG app or agent.

The output

Messy pages in, clean structured data out

The whole point is what you get back. ClawEngine strips the boilerplate and hands you markdown, JSON or schema-typed rows, the same shape every time, so retrieval just works.

  • Clean markdown with nav, ads and footers stripped out
  • Structured JSON with title, links, metadata and your fields
  • Schema extraction: define typed fields, get typed rows back
  • JavaScript rendered, so dynamic content comes through in full
  • A compliance line on every result: robots.txt respected, public data only

Build vs buy

What you stop maintaining when the API does the crawl

Every part of a scraping stack you would otherwise build, run and debug yourself, and what ClawEngine handles instead.

Fetching at volume

Build it yourself

Proxy pool to rent, rotate and monitor

With ClawEngine

Managed crawling, one endpoint

Dynamic pages

Build it yourself

Headless browser fleet to run and scale

With ClawEngine

JavaScript rendered on every request

Clean text

Build it yourself

Custom code to strip nav, ads and footers

With ClawEngine

Markdown with boilerplate removed

Typed fields

Build it yourself

Per-site selectors that break on redesigns

With ClawEngine

Define a schema, get typed JSON

Failures

Build it yourself

Retry, backoff and dead-letter logic to write

With ClawEngine

Retries handled, errors returned as JSON

Compliance

Build it yourself

robots.txt and crawl-delay handling to implement

With ClawEngine

robots.txt and crawl-delay honored by default

Throughput and results vary by site, volume and how you configure crawling and extraction.

Pricing

Less than the scraper fleet you would run yourself

Proxies, headless browsers and the engineer to babysit them cost far more than an API. Every plan is paid, usage-based, in USD. No free plan.

Before you build

The questions developers ask first

ClawEngine is built for public and permitted data only. It respects robots.txt and site Terms of Service, honors crawl-delay, and is meant for public docs, product catalogs, listings, your own sites and sites you have permission to crawl. You are responsible for what you choose to crawl. See our compliance page for the full policy.
Every result comes back as clean markdown or typed JSON with navigation, ads and boilerplate stripped out. It is shaped to chunk, embed and feed straight into a RAG pipeline or an agent, with no extra cleanup.
Yes. Pages are rendered in a managed headless browser, so client-side content, dynamic tables and infinite scroll come through fully loaded, not as an empty shell.
No. Crawling, proxy handling and headless rendering are fully managed. You make an API call and get clean data back; there is no fleet to run or scale.
Call the REST API with curl, Python or Node, no client library to install. It drops into LangChain and LlamaIndex pipelines, and you can get results by webhook for scheduled crawls.
No free plan. ClawEngine is a paid, usage-based product starting on the Hobby plan. You can try the live extraction console above for free to see exactly what the API returns.
