The High-Throughput Web Scraping API Built for Modern Developers
Scrape dynamic, JavaScript-rendered websites into clean Fit-Markdown, structured JSON, and vector embeddings in milliseconds. Designed to eliminate token bloat for LLMs, RAG pipelines, and AI agents.
# Fast Single-URL Scrape
curl -X POST https://api.flycrawl.net/api/v1/scrape \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"url": "https://example.com",
"format": "markdown"
}'
Sub-350ms Latency
Compiled Go and .NET 10 core runtime executes scrapes in memory without headless browser bloat, delivering responses up to 5x faster than Node.js competitors.
Fit-Markdown Noise Removal
Our heuristic DOM sanitizer strips navigation headers, cookie banners, ads, and sidebars, slashing LLM prompt token consumption by up to 90%.
Smart Anti-Bot Bypass
Automated TLS fingerprinting, dynamic residential proxy rotation, and header spoofing ensure 99.4% crawl success across protected websites.
