What data it sees

Do you need an account

An API key from the service settings is required

Web scraping and SEO tools for AI agents, backed by the ToolTrace API.

Turn any URL into clean Markdown, read structured metadata, extract links and JSON-LD, run technical SEO audits, detect a site's tech stack, and validate XML sitemaps. One tool per ToolTrace endpoint, growing as the API does.

Every result carries fetch evidence: the requested URL, the final URL after redirects, the HTTP status, and whether a real browser was used. An agent can tell you which page it actually read rather than assuming it got the one you named.

Rendering is automatic. A fast static fetch handles most pages and costs 1 credit. A real browser runs only when a page needs JavaScript before its content appears, and costs 5. Failed calls cost nothing.

Compliant by default. Access challenges and bot protection are detected and reported, never defeated. No CAPTCHA solving, so it is safe to run inside a commercial product.

Bring your own key. A free one at tooltrace.io/signup includes 1,000 credits a month, no card required.
