Anakin.io provides a web scraping API designed for fast, scalable extraction across multiple products. It emphasizes zero-block scraping, high performance, and enterprise-ready reliability with usage-based pricing and credits.

The product offers a web scraping API with multiple capabilities: scraping any URL to return Markdown, JSON, or HTML; browser sessions with persistent login; managed browser instances via API; no infrastructure required; multi-stage AI research (Agentic Search) for site discovery and content extraction; various modules for map (URL discovery), crawl (site-wide extraction), and search API with full content extraction. Pricing is based on per-call or per-credit usage with tiered plans, credits that never expire, and add-ons for higher concurrency, including enterprise options with custom SLA and integrations. Users buy credits, and each action (basic scrape, AI extraction, batch URLs, crawl, map, search, Agentic Search, Browser API) consumes a defined number of credits; there are scalable volume discounts and top-ups that do not expire.

Who it’s for: Ecommerce companies and on-demand service platforms that need fast, scalable web data extraction and monitoring across numerous product pages, catalogs, and competitor sites.
