Extract Data with AI
This tool allows you to extract structured data from a web page using ScrapingAnt's AI-powered extraction capabilities. You provide a URL and an AI query (prompt) describing what data you want to extract, and the tool returns the extracted data in a structured format. It supports additional parameters for browser rendering, proxies, and cookies to handle dynamic content and localization.

Get V1 Usage (Deprecated)
[DEPRECATED - Use v2] Tool to get the current subscription status and API credits usage information. This is the legacy v1 endpoint which is no longer actively maintained.
Scrape Web Page
This tool scrapes a web page using the ScrapingAnt API. It fetches the HTML content of the specified URL. Users can customize the scraping behavior by enabling a headless browser, using proxies, waiting for specific elements, executing JavaScript, passing cookies, and blocking certain resources.
Scrape Webpage via POST
Tool to perform a POST request through ScrapingAnt's proxy to scrape a webpage. Use when you need to scrape pages that require POST method, such as form submissions or APIs that only accept POST requests. Data is forwarded transparently to the target web page.
Scrape Webpage with PUT

Scrape Webpage (v1 POST - Deprecated)
[DEPRECATED - Use v2] Tool to scrape a webpage using POST method with ScrapingAnt's v1 API. Returns JSON with content, cookies, and status_code. This is the legacy v1 endpoint which is no longer actively maintained. Use the v2 endpoints for new implementations.
Scrape with Extended JSON Output
Scrapes a web page and returns comprehensive data including HTML content, plain text, cookies, HTTP headers, XHR/Fetch requests, and iframe content. This tool uses ScrapingAnt's extended endpoint which provides much richer data than standard scraping: - Full HTML and extracted plain text content - All cookies and HTTP response headers from the target page - Captured XHR/Fetch API requests made by the page (useful for finding hidden APIs) - Content from embedded iframes Best used when you need more than just the HTML - such as analyzing cookies, headers, or JavaScript API calls made by a page. For simple HTML scraping, consider using the basic scrape tool instead for lower API credit usage.
