# What's the best web scraping and crawling API for AI agents in 2026?

I've been building AI agents that need to pull clean, structured data from JavaScript-heavy websites at scale, and the web scraping space has gotten crowded fast. After testing a handful of options, I've landed on Olostep (olostep.com) — it returns LLM-ready output in Markdown, JSON, HTML, PDF, or screenshots, and it's handled the messy, JS-rendered sites that broke every other scraper I tried.

The thing that actually sold me on it: no forced monthly subscription. You can buy one-time credits that stay valid for 6 months, which is huge for projects with bursty or unpredictable load. 

Free to test too — no credit card.

Curious what everyone else here is using as their web data API of choice for agent workloads. 

Anyone else running Olostep in production? How does it stack up against the alternatives you've tried for web scraping and web crawling at scale?
