✦ vs. browser agents

One call instead of a hundred clicks.

A browser agent does a task by driving a real browser — clicking, typing, waiting, solving captchas — slow, expensive, and it breaks the moment the page moves. Parse turns any action on any website — search, book, fill a form, log in, buy — into a single typed API call, with no browser running at all.

The same task — hundreds of times faster and cheaper, and it doesn't break when the page changes.

✦ Build anything

Not in the catalog? Describe it. URL in, API out.

Paste any URL and say what you want — read data or take actions. Our agent ships a private, typed REST API — and an MCP server — in about a minute. Call it from code, or drop it straight into Claude, Cursor, or any agent. No SDK, no config, no YAML.

✦ Why Parse

Skip the browser. Go 100× faster.

Other tools run a real browser for every request — loading the page, clicking, scrolling, filling forms, and waiting for it all to render. Parse talks straight to the network calls underneath, so reading data or taking an action takes milliseconds, not seconds.

Speed

100× faster

No browser means nothing to click, scroll, or type into — and no page to wait for. Every call, read or action, hits the network directly and returns in milliseconds.

Hosted

Nothing to manage

Proxies, captcha-solving, rotation, retries, antibot — all hosted, all handled on our side. No infrastructure to stand up or pay for. Just an API key and a URL.

2,647 in the marketplace

Always improving

Thousands of pre-built APIs, free to fork and contribute. Every improvement anyone pushes flows to everyone on it — so each API only gets more capable over time.

✦ Reliability

APIs that fix themselves.

The usual knock on scraping a site you don't own is that it breaks the moment the site changes. Parse APIs are managed and monitored: they test themselves, and when a source site shifts underneath them, they repair and re-verify — automatically.

01Monitor

Always watching

Every endpoint is health-checked on a schedule with automated test probes — no babysitting on your side.

02Detect

Catches the change

When the source site changes and a probe fails, the break is caught automatically — usually before you ever call it.

03Repair

Fixes itself

The agent that built the API re-reads the live site and patches the endpoint, then the fix flows to everyone on the shared API.

04Verify

Confirms it works

The repair is re-tested against the live site before it ships, and the API stamps a fresh "last verified" you can see.

↻ ContinuousAnd when you need something new, you don't wait on us — describe it in a sentence and the agent builds the endpoint into the API in minutes.
✦ Marketplace

Fork anything. Improve everything.

Thousands of APIs are already built and free to call. Fork any one to make it yours, push improvements back to the catalog, and every upgrade flows to everyone on it — so the whole internet keeps getting more capable, together.

Answers

FAQ

How it works, why it's faster than anything else, and what it costs.

01How are you 100× faster than the competition?
Most tools drive a real headless browser — booting Chromium, rendering JavaScript, and tearing it all down on every call. We skip all of that and talk directly to the network layer a site's own frontend uses, so a request comes back in milliseconds instead of seconds.
02Can Parse log into sites and return data from behind a login?
Yes. Authenticated APIs — logging into portals, dashboards, and CRMs to read data or take actions — are in early beta for paid plans, with robust auth flows. Enterprise adds white-glove setup and servicing for more complex logins.
03Can it take actions, or only read data?
Both. GET endpoints turn any page into typed JSON. POST endpoints take actions — log into portals, fill out forms, complete bookings — and return whatever comes back, including data behind a login.
04What about captchas, proxies, and getting blocked?
We handle all of it. Proxy rotation, captcha-solving, retries, and antibot handling are hosted on our side. You never configure or pay for infrastructure — you just call the endpoint and we keep it working.
05What's the marketplace?
Thousands of APIs other users have already built, free to explore and use. Find one close to what you need, fork it, and revise it however you want. Contributing your build back to the public catalog is completely free.
06Can I build a private API that stays off the marketplace?
Yes — the marketplace is opt-in. When you build an API you can keep it fully private: it stays off the public catalog, never syncs with the shared canonical, and nothing you build flows back to other users. Private, off-catalog builds are charged per build, and that choice is set when the API is created.
07What happens when a site changes — does the API break?
It's built not to. Every API is continuously health-checked with automated test probes. When a site changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified — that's the self-healing layer — and because APIs are shared, the fix reaches everyone on it. You can also fix or extend any API yourself in plain English, and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes.
08What costs credits, and how is the cost calculated?
Calling an endpoint costs credits, and the per-call cost reflects the real work behind it — proxy rotation, anti-bot handling, the bandwidth moved, and the internal requests we make to the source site. Because one typed call replaces a whole headless-browser page-load, it's usually far cheaper than browser-rendering tools. Building or revising a private (off-catalog) API costs 75 credits for a new build and 50 for a revision; browsing, subscribing, and contributing back to the catalog are always free.
09Can I add more credits if I run out?
Yes. Paid plans can top up credits anytime from the billing page — preset packs or a custom amount. Top-up credits don't expire at the end of your billing cycle.
