[01 / Endpoints]

Every endpoint. One response shape.

From one page to a whole site, the envelope never changes. Learn one and you have learned all of them.

One URL in. Clean Markdown, the page’s own structured data, links, or a summary out, each response carrying its quality score. The primitive everything else builds on.

Read the docs

Every URL on a site in one call, sitemap and discovery combined, deduplicated and orderable by relevance. See the whole site before you decide what is worth pulling.

Read the docs

Walk a whole site as one asynchronous job, with depth, path and subdomain controls and a webhook when it finishes. Every page returns as clean Markdown in the same envelope.

Read the docs

Run a query and get ranked results that arrive already fetched and cleaned, with time, region and domain filters. Fresh, cited context for a model in one round trip.

Read the docs

Point a JSON schema at one page or a whole site and get typed records back, deduplicated across pages, with per-field confidence and the passage each value was drawn from.

Read the docs

Give it a domain and get the company ready to render: logos that work on light and dark, the brand’s real colours ranked by how the site uses them, fonts and socials. Every field carries its source and confidence.

Read the docs

The brand engine’s visible tip. One URL that drops straight into an img tag and returns the company’s mark, correct on light or dark, authenticated by a key that is safe to publish in your markup.

[02 / Behind one call]

You call one endpoint. We handle the hard part.

No headless browsers to run, no proxies to bring, no retry logic to write. The response is clean or it costs you nothing.

JS-rendered pages

Client-side apps come back as content.

React, Vue, anything that draws in the browser. You never see an empty shell where the page should be.

Blocks and challenges

Challenge walls are our problem.

Pages that greet a bot with a wall come back as content anyway. When one truly will not yield, the response says so honestly.

[03 / Integration]

Call it from your stack.

An official client in 6 languages, or plain HTTP from anywhere.

All SDKs
curl https://api.hydrafetch.com/v1/web/scrape \

For pipelines

Short calls return. Long ones hand you an id.

Requests wait inline by default, so most calls are a single round trip. A crawl or a batch hands back an id you poll instead. Wire either into a queue, a cron, or a nightly refresh and stop thinking about it.

For agents

Every endpoint is a tool.

Point your client at the MCP server and an agent can reach the live web mid-conversation to ground its own answers. Same primitives, same credits.

# Web scraping

**Web scraping**, **web harvesting**, or **web data extraction** is data scraping used for extracting data from websites.

Scraping a web page involves fetching it and then extracting data from it. Fetching is the downloading of a page.

Web pages are built using text-based markup languages (HTML and XHTML), and frequently contain useful data in text form.

## History

After the birth of the World Wide Web in 1989, the first web robot was created in June 1993.

In December 1993, the first crawler-based web search engine, JumpStation, was launched.

## Techniques

Data extraction techniques range from manual collection to sophisticated automation.

### Human copy-and-paste

Chunk, embed, upsert. Tomorrow only the changed pages cost anything.

[05 / Second opinions]

Do not take our word for it. Ask an AI to check.

Point your coding agent at your own repository, or ask an assistant to compare us against the alternatives. Both answer with things we did not write.

Ask your coding agent

It reads your repo, not our pitch.

Paste one line into Claude Code, Cursor, or anything that reads your repository. It comes back with file paths, a credit estimate, and where we are not worth it.

The skill reads our live endpoint list when it runs, so it covers anything we ship after you paste this. Read it first.

Ask an assistant

Let it compare us to the alternatives.

The question is already written, and it asks for the comparison rather than the sales pitch. It opens in a new tab with the prompt filled in.

ImageTalk to a human

Assistants read the live site, so they answer from what is published today rather than from anything we hand them.

[06 / Questions]

Asked before you ask.

The short answers. The long ones live in the docs.

Getting started

Sign up at the dashboard and your key is on the first screen, with 250 free credits attached. No card required.

Yes, because keys and credits belong to a workspace. Sign up with an email address and password, or with Google. Signing in with Google is optional and uses your name and email address only, to create and secure your Hydrafetch account. We never read, send, or store anything else from your Google account.

Yes, for Node, Python, Go, Ruby, Rust and PHP, plus two browser packages for company logos. Each one wraps the same HTTP surface, so plain HTTP still works from any language in a few lines, and agents can skip HTTP entirely and connect over MCP.

Capabilities

Yes. Pages that only exist after the browser draws them come back as clean content, automatically, for the same one credit.

No. Blocks, challenges and rate limits are our problem. If a page truly cannot be delivered, the response says so and you are not billed.

Ask for it. Every scrape can return the page’s own structured data alongside Markdown, and the extract endpoint turns any page into typed JSON matching your schema, with per-field evidence.

Yes. Crawls run as asynchronous jobs with depth, path and subdomain controls, and a webhook tells you when they finish. Every page arrives in the same envelope.

Fresh enough for the job. Recently seen pages are served from a short-lived cache and refreshed when they go stale. If your use case has a stricter bar, tell the request how fresh is fresh enough and we take care of the rest. Every response states whether it came from cache.

Billing

A successful page costs one credit, whatever it took to get it. Search costs one plus one per scraped result, and extract costs five. There are no modifiers or surcharges to stack.

Never. Errors, blocks and dead ends cost nothing. You pay for delivered pages only.

No. What a page needed to come back clean is our cost, not your line item. One page, one credit.

Clean web data is one call away.

250 free credits, no card required. Failures never billed.
