Every result shows how it was read.
We do not run a warehouse of pre-scraped pages. You point the API at a URL, we fetch it live, and the structured result carries a confidence score, the extraction method, and a fetch trail. Here is exactly where the data comes from.
Where the data comes from
| Source | How it is read | _provenance |
|---|---|---|
| The page you point us at | A /v1/scrape or /v1/extract call fetches the URL you pass, live, at request time. We do not resell a pre-scraped copy of the web. | json-ld · opengraph · regex · llm |
| Structured markup on that page | When a page publishes JSON-LD or Open Graph, we read those fields directly. The value is exact, not inferred, and costs no LLM credits. | json-ld · opengraph |
| Web search results | /v1/search returns ranked results from a search backend and, on request, scrapes each result the same way a direct scrape would. | search + fetch tier |
| Public records (enrichment endpoints) | Secretary-of-State and license-board endpoints read official government registries directly. Facts and any personal fields are kept separate and tagged as public record. | us-public-record |
How we handle it
robots.txt respected by default
The default fetch honors a site’s robots.txt. Compliance is the default state, not a setting you have to find.
Live fetch, no silent cache
Every request is a live read unless you explicitly opt into a max-age cache. An agent acting on stale data acts wrong, so freshness is the default.
Provenance on every structured result
Structured results carry _confidence, _extraction_method, and _provenance (the fetch tier that won and how the result was read). You read how a value was obtained from the payload itself.
Takedown honored
A person or an owner can request removal of their record from the enrichment graph. Requests are processed through a documented takedown path.

Read the provenance shape
The docs show the exact _confidence / _provenance envelope every structured result ships, and the takedown path for a record.
