Olostep

Web data infrastructure for AI agents

Visit Olostep

Olostep is a web data API that provides search, scraping, crawling, URL mapping, batch processing, AI-powered answers, and page monitoring through a single interface. It is designed to support AI agents and research workflows that need to discover information, navigate websites, extract structured data, and track changes over time.

The platform exposes endpoints for scrapes, crawls, maps, batches, searches, answers, and monitors. Scraping returns content in formats including Markdown, HTML, screenshots, and JSON. Crawling retrieves pages across a site with include and exclude URL filters, while mapping returns URLs from a website. Batch processing handles large URL sets, and parsers such as @olostep/google-search can structure results. Search accepts natural language queries and returns ranked links; answers return AI-generated responses with sources and optional JSON output. Monitors track pages on a schedule and send change alerts. Olostep provides native Python and Node.js SDKs, a REST API, metadata support, and webhook events.

Olostep integrates with AI development frameworks including LangChain, Mastra, and Apify, workflow automation platforms including Zapier, n8n, and Relay, and MCP hosts such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot. It is available through a free plan and a paid tier, with API access for developers and an option to contact sales.
