Web intelligence APIs
for AI agents

Crawl, diagnose, extract, validate, audit, and monitor — 17 developer tools built for automation pipelines, MCP servers, and AI agent workflows. TheCrawler adds contract diagnostics so agents can see what is ready, blocked, or missing before trusting an extraction.

5,000 credits for $29·Credits never expire·Open source

Flagship Tools

Six production-grade APIs. TheCrawler now focuses on validated extraction contracts — diagnose first, then extract typed JSON with missing-field evidence.

Utility Tools

Eleven additional tools for DNS, SSL, security, documents, keywords, and more.

Fair pricing

Pay-per-operation on Apify Store, buy hosted TheCrawler API credits through miaibot.ai, or request a $500 extraction readiness sprint when source reliability is the risk. The sprint is credited toward setup or hosted usage if the workflow continues.
