Data extraction tools built on one rule: find the endpoint, skip the browser.

Most scrapers render a whole page to read a handful of fields. That burns bandwidth you pay for and time you wait on. These tools read the JSON the site already serves to itself — which is why they can be cheap and fast at the same time, instead of one or the other.

What every tool here holds to

  • No cookies, no login. You never hand over an account or a session. Public, logged-out data only.
  • No working around blocks. When a site restricts an endpoint, these tools take a public path instead — they do not impersonate a different client to get past the restriction.
  • Pay per result. You are charged for rows delivered, not for time spent trying. Failed inputs are never charged.
  • A documented schema. Stable field names, declared output, no guessing what comes back.
  • Not built on people. These tools read public content, not personal profiles. Where a public author or channel name is attached to a piece of content, it comes through as the site shows it — but nothing here builds profiles of individuals, collects contact details, or gathers anything behind a login.
  • Nothing phones home. The only host a tool contacts is the site it scrapes. No callback, no telemetry, no third-party endpoint. Your data stays in your account.

Something broken, or a site changed its shape? Open an issue on the Actor's page — that is the fastest way to get it fixed.
