XCrawl is a web scraping API that turns websites into structured data. Its Scrape API returns JSON, Markdown, HTML or screenshots from a single request, its Crawl API works through multi-page sites or targeted sections of a domain, its Map API lists discoverable URLs and sitemaps, and its Search API collects Google and other search engine results as structured SERP data. The site says it handles headless browser rendering for JavaScript-heavy pages, rotating proxies and retries, so users do not have to manage those parts themselves.

People use XCrawl to feed live web content into LLM apps, RAG pipelines and AI agents, to monitor prices and competitor pages, to aggregate news and reviews, and to track search rankings. Integrations include an MCP server for Claude, n8n, and connections to Zapier and Make mentioned on the site. Official SDKs are listed for Python and Node.js, and the REST API can be called from any language with cURL examples.

New accounts receive 1,000 free credits without a credit card. Each request consumes credits depending on complexity, and the site offers paid plans plus a contact-sales option for higher-volume teams.
