Give your agents the web
link.sc is one API to fetch and search anything online. We handle rendering, proxies, and parsing, then return clean markdown and JSON your models can actually use.
{ "url": "https://news.ycombinator.com/", "markdown": "# Hacker News\n\n1. Show HN: … (142 points, 63 comments)…", "metadata": { "title": "Hacker News", "status": 200 }, "tokens": 1204 }

Three endpoints cover the whole pipeline, from finding pages to reading them. SDKs for Python and Node, or plain HTTP.
Query the web
One call from question to content. Every result comes back with full-page markdown included.
Read any page
Any URL to clean markdown, structured JSON, or screenshots. JS rendering and smart waits included.
Ask a question
An agent searches, reads, and synthesizes a cited report. Every query and fetch streamed live.
# pip install linksc from linksc import Link link = Link(api_key=os.environ["LINK_API_KEY"]) # One call: URL in, clean markdown out page = link.fetch("news.ycombinator.com") print(page.markdown[:400])
# Hacker News 1. Show HN: I built a thing 142 points · 63 comments 2. Ask HN: What are you working on? 98 points · 210 comments 3. The case for boring technology 87 points · 41 comments
Fast, reliable, and light on tokens
Web data infrastructure built from the ground up. Rendering, proxies, parsing, and caching are handled for you.
Works on 99.2% of pages
JS-heavy apps, PDFs, and anti-bot protected sites. Automatic rendering, proxy rotation, and smart waits bring back clean data.

Plugs into your agent stack
A built-in MCP server exposes fetch and search as tools. One config line and Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf can read the web.
Built for whatever you're building
Deep research agents
Let agents read sources end to end instead of working from snippets. Every search result includes full-page markdown.

“We replaced 2,000 lines of Puppeteer code with 5 lines of link.sc fetch calls. Our RAG pipeline went from 60% to 94% retrieval accuracy overnight.”
“The search API is a game-changer for our AI agents. Real-time web data grounding reduced hallucinations by over 40% in production.”
“We evaluated every web data API on the market. link.sc was the only one that returned markdown clean enough to feed directly into our embedding pipeline.”
Frequently asked questions
What formats does link.sc return?+
We return clean Markdown by default, optimized for LLM token efficiency. You can also request raw HTML, structured JSON, or screenshots. Our Markdown engine strips ads, navigation, footers, and boilerplate automatically.
How does link.sc handle JavaScript-rendered pages?+
Our Professional and Enterprise plans include full JS rendering via headless browsers. We execute JavaScript, wait for dynamic content to load, and then extract the final rendered DOM. This covers React, Next.js, Vue, Angular, and any SPA framework.
What is your success rate for anti-bot protected sites?+
We maintain a 99.2% success rate across Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome, and PerimeterX protected sites. Our residential proxy pool rotates through millions of IPs across 195 countries, combined with browser fingerprint rotation.
Can I use link.sc for RAG pipelines?+
Absolutely. link.sc was built specifically for RAG use cases. Our Markdown output is optimized for chunking and embedding. We preserve semantic structure (headings, lists, tables) while removing noise that wastes tokens and degrades retrieval quality.
Do you offer a self-hosted or on-premise option?+
Yes, our Enterprise plan includes an on-premise deployment option. We provide a Docker image that runs on your infrastructure with the same API interface. Contact our sales team for details.
What happens if I exceed my plan limits?+
We never cut off your access mid-request. You'll receive email alerts at 80% and 100% usage. After hitting your limit, additional requests are billed at the overage rate for your plan, or you can upgrade instantly from your dashboard.
