# webscrape.ai

> Web scraping API for AI agents and data pipelines. Turn any URL into clean, schema-validated JSON in one API call — no selectors, no maintenance.

webscrape.ai exposes six core products (SmartScraper, Scrape, Crawl, Blueprints, SmartBrowse, Browse) under a credit-based billing model. Authentication is via API key (`X-API-Key` header). Free tier includes 500 starting credits plus 300/month rolling allowance — no card required.
