The Fetch API has been a game-changer for us. It quickly turns messy HTML into clean, LLM-ready Markdown, which has significantly reduced our token costs and improved AI accuracy. On top of that, the generous free tier for Search and Fetch makes it a low-risk, high-value addition to our stack. TinyFish integrates seamlessly with my stack. The native MCP support makes connecting to Claude Code and Cursor pretty easy.

I built my own AI news-monitoring and research tool, and Fetch is the piece that made it viable. I hand it a URL and get back clean Markdown instead of a wall of nav bars, cookie banners and ads, which cuts my token cost on every LLM call downstream. Search and Fetch being free is genuinely rare — everyone else meters exactly this. Integration was trivial: one API key, plain REST, no SDK to adopt. Failed URLs not counting against quota is a small thing that matters a lot when you're pulling from news sites that move or drop content. Over my last 100 fetches the success rate is 98%, with an average latency of 2.7 seconds. Most pages come back in under two seconds, which matters when I'm processing a batch of feed links in one go. Onboarding was about as short as it gets: sign up, copy the key, first successful fetch inside five minutes, no credit card in the way. And the output is built for the job — Fetch returns content already shaped for an LLM to read, so the AI layer of my own tool gets a clean input instead of raw HTML it has to fight through. The dashboard deserves a mention too. Success rate, average latency, extracted content size and credit usage are all on the landing page for each API — I went looking for my failure rate and had it in one click, without digging through logs. For a free tier that's more observability than I expected.

Through my brand I serve over 200,000 visitors a month, so I live inside research tools all day. TinyFish has become my default web layer inside Claude Code and OpenCode. The MCP connection was easy to set up, and I was running searches and fetches within minutes. Over the past two to three months it has handled my daily query volume without breaking a sweat. The dashboard is clean, the search results are relevant, and I like that I can jump from a quick search to a full browser session without leaving my coding environment.
