What web scraping API can an AI agent use for one public page?

SCRIPTMASTERLABS Web Scraping API for AI Agents accepts one known public HTTPS URL and routes it to structured one-page extraction or clean LLM-ready Markdown. It is designed for narrow agent and RAG jobs, not whole-site crawling.

Can an AI agent check the target before paying?

Yes. The public readiness path can be checked without submitting payment. When payment is required, the fresh PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge is the authority for amount, network, asset and receiver.

Does the API require a monthly scraping subscription?

No SML monthly subscription is required for the x402 buyer path. The displayed prices are 0.001 USDC for an accepted Markdown read and 0.005 USDC for accepted structured extraction, subject to fresh target terms.

Is this a whole-site crawler or browser automation platform?

No. Use a conventional crawl or browser platform for whole-site crawling, massive indexing, heavy JavaScript interaction, authenticated sessions, or enterprise reserved throughput.

Web Scraping API for AI Agents

The SCRIPTMASTERLABS Web Scraping API for AI Agents extracts one known public HTTPS page into structured JSON or LLM-ready Markdown — 0.001 USDC per accepted Markdown read or 0.005 USDC per accepted structured extraction — and lets agents check target readiness through a free browser-side path before any x402 payment is authorized.

SCRIPTMASTERLABS Web Scraping API for AI Agents performs one-page structured extraction for a known public HTTPS page, not whole-site crawling. Resolve live x402 terms on SqueezeOS before spend. Use URL to Markdown when compact Markdown is enough; use Web Research when the source URL is unknown.

Need to scrape one public page from an AI agent? SCRIPTMASTERLABS takes one known public HTTPS URL and returns either structured extraction data or clean LLM-ready Markdown. It is built for agent tool calls, RAG ingestion, source capture, and narrow extraction jobs without forcing a monthly scraping subscription.

What is the exact buyer job?

Input: one known public HTTPS URL. Output: structured one-page extraction or LLM-ready Markdown. Preflight: inspect target readiness before payment. Displayed price: 0.001 USDC per accepted Markdown read or 0.005 USDC per accepted structured extraction. Fresh target terms remain authoritative.

If you do not know the source URL yet, use Web Research. If you need whole-site crawling, browser automation, authenticated sessions, proxy fleets, or heavy JavaScript execution, use a dedicated crawler/browser platform instead.

How do you try the live readiness path?

Enter one public HTTPS URL. This browser-side checker calls the current SqueezeOS execution route. It does not submit payment.

Ready.

KNOWN URL · STRUCTURED OUTPUT

What does structured web extraction deliver?

SML Web Extract One-Shot handles a known public page when downstream code needs structured output and extraction metadata instead of a Markdown document. A fixed free preview is available before a paid target call.

What controls payment authority and safety?

Current SML payment authority is x402 v2, USDC on Base mainnet (eip155:8453). The target route’s fresh PAYMENT-REQUIRED challenge controls the exact amount, asset, network and receiver immediately before spend. The caller controls authorization and spending policy.

HTTP 402 is not payment proof. A signature is authorization, not settlement. Successful paid delivery requires verified settlement plus accepted output.

Public HTTPS only. Private-network access, caller credential forwarding and explicit robots bypass are outside this product boundary.

What did a live probe measure on 2026-10-15?

ScriptMasterLabs' structured web extraction quoted $0.005 per accepted page on 2026-10-15 — one known public HTTPS URL in, structured JSON out, on the same x402 rail that has settled 96 payments on Base since 2026-09-02 (BaseScan read of the payTo wallet; method at /x402-statistics).

GET /api/web/extract-once?url=https://example.com → HTTP 402 in 0.70 s; the accepts array quotes 5,000 atomic USDC = $0.005 on Base mainnet (eip155:8453).
GET /api/web/once-info → HTTP 200, free — the product contract and readiness path are inspectable before any payment is authorized.
The Markdown read on the same rail quotes $0.001 per accepted page (measured the same day on the read-markdown route).

Method: unauthenticated GET probes from an external client on 2026-10-15. An HTTP 402 response is the live x402 payment challenge — the price quoted is read from its accepts array; no payment was made and nothing was charged for these probes. Response times are single measurements, not averages.
