Reader helps your agent work with the web in four core ways.
Scrape a page
Send Reader a URL and get back clean page content. Markdown for model context, HTML for inspection, metadata for storage, screenshots for visual checks, and raw page content when your system needs lower level access.
Crawl a website
Start from one URL and collect multiple pages from a website. Control depth, limits, and URL patterns so your crawler collects the pages that matter without turning every task into an open ended crawl.
Extract structured data
When your workflow needs fields instead of full text, Reader can extract structured JSON from web content. Define the data shape you want with a schema or instruction, and get usable fields back with the page context.
Open a browser session
Some pages need real interaction. Reader Browser lets your workflow launch a cloud browser session and connect with automation tools such as Playwright or Puppeteer for clicks, navigation, forms, screenshots, PDFs, and rendered state.
Built for real agent workflows
Agent research
Let an agent read public websites, crawl related pages, extract structured fields, and summarize findings with source context.
RAG ingestion
Convert documentation, blogs, help centers, and public websites into clean Markdown for chunking, embedding, retrieval, and answer generation.
Product data workflows
Collect product names, prices, availability, variants, reviews, and metadata from public product pages.
Price monitoring
Retrieve product pages, extract price and availability fields, store snapshots, and compare changes in your own system.
Competitive intelligence
Crawl public competitor pages and feed clean content into your own change detection, summarization, and alerting workflows.
Lead research
Collect public company descriptions, product pages, location information, contact page links, hiring signals, and website content for research workflows.
Solutions for every team
Monitor product prices, track inventory, and extract product data across thousands of stores. Reader handles JavaScript rendering and anti-bot protection on e-commerce platforms automatically. One API call returns clean, structured data from any product page.

It is built around agent context
Reader is designed for workflows where web content becomes model context, structured data, crawl results, or browser controlled state.
It keeps the product model simple
Scrape pages, crawl websites, extract structured data, and open browser sessions without stitching together separate services.
It returns useful outputs
Get Markdown for models, JSON for applications, metadata for storage, HTML for inspection, and browser sessions for interactive workflows.
It works across use cases
Use the same platform for agent research, RAG ingestion, product data, price monitoring, competitive intelligence, lead research, and website analysis.
It gives developers control
Use the API, SDKs, CLI, MCP server, Playwright, Puppeteer, webhooks, and your own storage or agent framework.
No infrastructure to manage
No browsers to run, no proxies to rotate, no servers to scale. Reader handles rendering, anti-bot bypass, and content extraction so your team builds the product, not the plumbing.
Works with your stack
How It Works
Three steps. That's it.
Give Reader a URL, or connect to a cloud browser
A single page, an entire site, or a live browser session. Reader handles all three.
Reader handles the hard part
Rendering, anti-bot bypass, content extraction, session management.
Get clean, structured data
Through the platform or the API. Ready for your agents, your workflows, or your next report.
