What XCrawl is
XCrawl is a scraping API that returns usable formats directly: structured JSON, Markdown or search data, with built-in agents and proxy handling so applications can consume web content without building collection infrastructure.
What you can do with it
- Crawl pages and receive structured JSON
- Pull Markdown for downstream processing
- Use built-in agents for extraction tasks
- Handle proxies without separate setup
- Automate recurring collection
Who it is for
- Developers and data teams
- AI application builders
- Teams needing structured web input
What to watch out for
- Proxy handling exists partly to avoid blocking, and circumventing access controls may breach site terms or local law
- Robots directives and copyright still govern what you may collect and reuse
- Personal data in crawled pages brings notice and retention duties
- Structured output still needs validation before it reaches users
Pros & cons
✓ What we like
