XCrawl
AI-Powered Web Scraping API & Intelligent Scraper Tool
About XCrawl
XCrawl is a web scraping API built for AI applications and automation workflows. It turns any website into structured data through a small set of endpoints: a Scrape API for single pages, a Crawl API for whole sites, a Map API that lists every discoverable URL on a domain, and Search and SERP APIs that return Google and other search engine results as clean structured data. Output comes back as LLM-ready JSON, clean Markdown, raw HTML or headless screenshots, so it can go straight into a RAG pipeline, an AI agent or a database without a post-processing step.
The problem it solves is the plumbing that makes scraping painful at scale. Modern sites are JavaScript-heavy, protected by anti-bot systems and CAPTCHAs, and quick to block repeated requests. Building and maintaining a scraper stack means managing headless browsers, rotating proxies, retries and parsers, and traditional scrapers often hand back raw HTML that still has to be cleaned before an LLM can use it. XCrawl handles headless rendering, auto-rotating global residential proxies, browser fingerprinting and retries on its side, and claims a 99%+ data extraction success rate.
What makes it relevant to AI builders specifically is the output format and the integrations. Markdown is meant for token-efficient LLM input, JSON for systems integration, and AI-powered structured extraction returns tables, lists, metadata and custom fields in a consistent schema. XCrawl ships an MCP server so assistants like Claude can fetch live web data, an n8n integration for no-code workflows, and XCrawl Skills that package scraping and browser automation as AI-callable tools. Pricing is credit-based: a free trial with 1,000 one-time credits, then monthly plans from $8 to $999.
You start by creating a free account, which comes with 1,000 credits and needs no credit card. From the dashboard you copy an API key, then send your first request with the official Python or Node.js/TypeScript SDK or a plain REST call; the documentation also has examples for Go, Ruby, PHP and cURL.
Pick the endpoint that matches the job. Send one URL to the Scrape API and get back JSON, Markdown, HTML or a screenshot of that page. Point the Crawl API at a domain or a section of a site to extract many pages with depth control. Use the Map API to export all discoverable URLs and the site structure first, or use the Search and SERP APIs to collect structured results from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo and other engines.
XCrawl renders the page in a headless browser, waits for key elements on dynamic sites, routes the request through rotating residential proxies and retries failures automatically. Requests can run synchronously or asynchronously, and webhook callbacks are available. Each request consumes credits based on its complexity, so a standard page, a SERP query and advanced features may cost different amounts. If you prefer not to write code, the same capabilities can be driven from n8n and other no-code platforms, or called by an AI agent through MCP or XCrawl Skills using natural language instructions.
- •
Scrape API - Extract structured data from any single page and receive clean JSON, Markdown or screenshots in one API request. Anti-scraping mechanisms, IP proxies and JavaScript rendering are handled for you, which covers SPAs, infinite scroll and content built with React, Angular or Vue.
- •
Crawl and Map APIs - The Crawl API walks multi-page websites and extracts data from full domains or targeted sections with reliable depth control. The Map API exports every discoverable URL on a domain, uncovers sitemaps and maps the complete site structure, which is useful before deciding what to crawl.
- •
Search and SERP APIs - Collect results from Google and other search engines as structured SERP data for SEO tracking and market research. The site lists dedicated endpoints for sources such as Google Search, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google Shopping and Google Patents, plus scraper APIs for Amazon, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Walmart.
- •
AI-Ready Output and Structured Extraction - Results come back as LLM-ready JSON or clean Markdown with no post-processing, aimed at RAG pipelines, fine-tuning datasets and AI assistants. AI-powered structured extraction returns tables, lists, metadata and custom fields in a consistent schema ready for databases and analytics.
- •
Built-In Proxies and Anti-Bot Handling - Auto-rotating global residential proxies, advanced browser fingerprinting and built-in retries are included, so you do not have to manage proxy pools or rotation yourself. XCrawl states that it only scrapes public data.
- •
MCP, n8n and XCrawl Skills - A native Model Context Protocol server lets AI assistants like Claude access live web data in real time. The n8n integration connects XCrawl to 500+ apps in visual workflows, and XCrawl Skills package scraping, browser RPA and data extraction as tool plugins that LLMs can call from plain-English instructions.
XCrawl is built first for developers and AI engineers who need fresh web data inside their applications. Teams building RAG systems, AI assistants or AI agents can use the Markdown output to feed documentation, articles and knowledge bases into a model, and the MCP server gives agents a direct way to read the live web.
Data and growth teams are the second audience. Lead generation teams can build prospect lists from directories and industry databases, e-commerce and pricing teams can monitor competitor products and prices for dynamic pricing, and media and content teams can aggregate news, blog posts and social content for alerts and trend analysis. SEO specialists can use the SERP endpoints for keyword tracking and SERP analysis.
Analysts working on review mining and sentiment analysis can pull structured reviews from sources such as Amazon, Trustpilot, Google Reviews and app stores. Non-developers are covered by the n8n integration and other no-code platforms. The Hobby plan at $8 a month suits side projects, while the Scale and Enterprise plans with up to 3,000,000 credits a month and 200 concurrent requests target teams running large data pipelines. Because every new account starts with 1,000 free credits and no card, it is easy to test against your own target sites before committing to a plan.
