Live web access for AI agents
What agents need from web access
An agent that reads raw HTML or bare markdown gets no signal about quality. It cannot tell a fact from a navigation link, or a full extraction from a thin one, so it passes everything downstream as equally reliable.
Onboarding is the second gap. If each agent deployment needs a person to sign up for an API key, the agent cannot start on its own. It needs a key it can mint itself, within a rate limit.
How SuperScraper fits
Agents call the REST API with a Bearer key. Hosted MCP is coming soon; until then, REST is the path.
- Plain HTTP
- Call scrape, extract, map, search, enrich and crawl with a Bearer key. No SDK required.
- A score an agent can branch on
- A /v1/scrape response carries metadata.completeness, a 0 to 1 score for how complete the page’s structured data is, plus metadata.fetchMethod. The agent can use a complete result as is, flag a thin one for review, or retry with forcePlaywright.
- A source URL to cite
- Every response includes the url it was read from, and /v1/scrape adds the fetch steps that ran. An agent writing a report can cite the url without another lookup.
- Search when there is no URL
- POST a query to /v1/search for ranked results. Add scrapeResults: true to get each page’s content in the same call.
Endpoints
- POST
/v1/scrapeA URL as markdown or structured data, with a completeness score. - POST
/v1/extractA URL plus your schema, returned as typed fields in data. - POST
/v1/searchA query to ranked results. scrapeResults: true adds page content. - POST
/v1/mapEvery URL on a domain, for site navigation. - POST
/v1/keys/provisionA free-tier key the agent mints itself, with no signup.
Check the result before the agent acts
Call /v1/extract with a schema and check that the fields you need came back. A schema request returns data and model metadata without a completeness score, so check the fields themselves.
const res = await fetch('https://api.superscraper.dev/v1/extract', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.SS_API_KEY}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
url: 'https://example.com/product',
schema: {
productName: 'string',
price: 'number',
availability: 'string',
},
}),
});
const { data } = await res.json();
const required = ['productName', 'price'];
if (data && required.every((k) => data[k] != null)) {
// Every required field came back: use it
return data;
}
// Missing fields: flag for review
return { ...data, _needsReview: true };Questions
