Crawlbase

Web data infrastructure for developers and AI

Visit Crawlbase

Crawlbase is a web data platform that provides a single API for crawling and scraping websites. It manages the infrastructure typically required for these tasks, including proxy rotation, browser rendering, CAPTCHA handling, and anti-bot systems, returning structured data to the user.

The platform offers several products: a Crawling API for single-page requests, an Enterprise Crawler for large-scale asynchronous jobs, a Smart AI Proxy, Cloud Storage for crawled pages, and a Web MCP Server for AI agents. It also provides managed scrapers for popular sites and official SDKs for Node, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, .NET, and Go.

Crawlbase is designed for developers, enterprises, and AI teams. It operates on a pay-as-you-go model where only successful requests are billed, with rates that decrease as volume increases. An optional subscription provides a monthly credit block at a lower effective rate. A free tier is available with up to 5,000 requests, and enterprise plans offer custom volume, SLAs, and invoicing.
