Browser API: Headless scraping browser in cloud
Headless browser API for AI agents, automation, and scraping - discover, access, extract, and interact with any public website. Ready for any model, pipeline, or workflow.
How it works
Connect, automate, inspect - all in the cloud. Run managed browser sessions through an API built for web scraping, data extraction, testing, and automation. MegaIndex helps you render JavaScript pages, control sessions, connect proxies, manage captcha tasks, and collect public web data without maintaining your own browser infrastructure.

Managed headless cloud browser infrastructure
MegaIndex gives developers access to scalable browser infrastructure through a remote API connection. Instead of running headless browsers on your own servers, you can load pages, render JavaScript, interact with websites, manage sessions, and extract data in a controlled browser environment.
Device emulation
Run sessions as real mobile or desktop devices with accurate browser and screen settings.
Assisted browser workflow handling
Easy define how browser sessions handle pages that require verification, review, or user interaction.
Ad blocking
Block ads and trackers to reduce bandwidth usage and improve page load speed.
Session persistence
Reuse the same proxy peer and browser state across multiple sessions.
Session ID access
Get active session IDs to inspect logs, debug issues, and track usage.
File downloads
Capture PDFs, CSVs, images, and other files directly from the browser session.
Built for JavaScript-heavy websites
Modern websites often rely on client-side rendering, lazy loading, cookies, sessions, browser checks, and anti-bot protection. Browser API is designed for pages that simple HTTP requests cannot process reliably.
Compatible with automation stacks
Connect browser API to Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, custom scrapers, backend services, and RPA tools. Developers get browser-level control while MegaIndex handles scaling, availability, and infrastructure maintenance.
Stable browser sessions
Use configurable browser sessions for rendering, session control, retries, and consistent page behavior across modern websites.
Browser automation without infrastructure overhead
Run browser-based scraping workflows in managed cloud sessions. MegaIndex handles rendering, proxies, session behavior, retries, and browser availability, while your team controls interactions, navigation, and extraction through Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, or CDP.
Why AI agents need MegaIndex
Most agent failures are not reasoning failures. They are access and context failures. The agent could not reach the page, crawl the website, extract the right data, or return it in a format the workflow could actually use.
Search
Search the web and get full content from results.
Scrape
Get llm-ready data from websites. Markdown, JSON, screenshot, etc.
Interact
Scrape a page, then interact with it using AI prompts or code.
Training data is always behind
Your model only knows the web up to a certain point. The page your user asks about may have changed yesterday, or may not have existed at all when the model was trained.
MegaIndex gives agents live access to web data through a scraping API instead of forcing them to rely on a static snapshot.
Generic scrapers return too much noise
Raw HTML is full of navigation, ads, scripts, cookie banners, and boilerplate. That forces the agent to separate signal from noise before it can do the actual work.
MegaIndex turns any URL into clean, structured markdown, so tokens are spent on useful content, not page clutter.
Agents need structured entities, not loose text
When an agent needs information about a company, product, or website, it should not have to crawl pages, parse layouts, and guess which details matter.
MegaIndex extracts typed structured data on demand: logos, brand colors, industry, social links, metadata, and other entity-level signals agents can use directly.
AI ready: Connect AI agent. MegaIndex handle the data layer.
Connect MegaIndex to your AI agents through API, CLI, Skills, or MCP. One connection gives your agent access to live web data without making your team build the scraping, proxy, rendering, cleanup, and extraction layer manually.
Your agent sends a request. MegaIndex collects the data, prepares it, and returns clean markdown or structured output ready to use.
