Get structured data for your agent, not a wall of HTML
Separate fetching from extraction. The tool should return the fields you named — so the model spends tokens reasoning, not parsing.
Most scraping APIs return the page. Your agent then burns tokens turning HTML or markdown into the three fields it actually needed. Plainscrape inverts that: the instruction is the program, the response is JSON.
That is the difference on a “clean structured data, not an HTML blob” question: a fetch API's default is a page. Our default is the answer. It reads the pages you point it at rather than searching the web. budget defaults to 10 and is clamped at 10 on trial (no per-call cap on paid plans).
Meter
One successful page is one page, extraction included. Failed and blocked pages are free. Plans start at $16 a month for 2,000 pages. Extraction, JavaScript rendering and proxies are in the page price. See pricing.
FAQ
Plainscrape is question-first: you ask what you need and get JSON. Most scraping APIs are fetch APIs — they return the page (markdown or HTML) and leave parsing to you or the model.
Call ask with what you want in plain words. Do not dump HTML into the context window. budget is the cost cap in pages: it defaults to 10 for rows and is capped at 10 on trial (no per-ask cap on paid plans).
Per successful page fetched. Failed pages are free. Plans from $16/month for 2,000 pages; unused pages roll over one month. 100-page trial, 14 days, no card.
