ToolTrace is a developer-first platform of web intelligence APIs. Instead of building and maintaining scrapers, developers get clean, structured data from any public webpage through simple API calls.
Production APIs: - Web Scraping API โ extract Markdown, text, and HTML with static or browser rendering - Content Extraction API โ pull clean article content from any URL - Metadata Extraction API โ titles, descriptions, Open Graph, Twitter Cards - Link Extraction API โ all links from a page, classified and normalized - Schema Extraction API โ JSON-LD structured data from any page - SEO Audit API โ on-page SEO diagnostics and scoring - Sitemap Inspector API โ parse and validate XML sitemaps - Tech Stack Detection API โ identify technologies across 16 categories
Built for AI agents with native integrations for LangChain, LlamaIndex, MCP, CrewAI, and Vercel AI SDK. RAG-ready chunked output. Handles JavaScript-rendered pages with headless browser rendering.
Free tier with 1,000 credits. Pro from $9.50/month (founding member pricing). Unified credit pool across all APIs.
Apify is a JavaScript & Node.js based data extraction tool for websites that crawls lists of URLs and automates workflows on the web.

ToolTrace's answer
ToolTrace combines multiple web intelligence capabilities under one API key and one credit pool. Most competitors offer just scraping or just SEO tools. ToolTrace covers scraping, content extraction, metadata, links, schema markup, SEO audits, sitemaps, and tech stack detection in a single platform. It's also built specifically for AI agent workflows with native integrations for LangChain, LlamaIndex, and MCP.
ToolTrace's answer
Three reasons: breadth, simplicity, and price. You get a full suite of web intelligence APIs without juggling multiple providers and billing systems. The unified credit pool means you pay once and use any endpoint. Founding member pricing starts at $9.50/month for Pro. And every API has a matching free tool on the site so you can test before writing any code.
ToolTrace's answer
Developers and small teams building AI agents, RAG pipelines, research tools, and web automation. Also SEO professionals who need programmatic access to on-page diagnostics, schema validation, and tech stack data at scale.
ToolTrace's answer
I was building AI agents that needed reliable web data and got frustrated maintaining scrapers that broke every time a site updated its layout. I built an API to solve my own problem, then realized the same infrastructure could power SEO audits, metadata extraction, link analysis, and tech stack detection. ToolTrace grew from one endpoint into a full platform.

Python 3.12, FastAPI, Playwright (headless Chromium for browser rendering), Redis, SQLite, and Astro for the website. Runs on a VPS behind Cloudflare.

Native @apify scheduling, dataset exports (CSV/JSON), webhooks, and it's callable by AI agents via Apify MCP. - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago
That runs News Scraper on Apify, which is the same forty lines plus the parts that are Tedious rather than hard: both feeds, the nested publisher element, the date Normalisation, and deduplication. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
That runs an Apify Actor I maintain, Domain Scraper, because the Tedious parts are the RDAP bootstrap, the vcard unpacking and the provider Fingerprinting rather than the HTTP call. If you would rather do it yourself, Https://rdap.org/domain/ is the whole API and it needs no key. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
Data collection: Apify actors, one per source, that scrape the open-data endpoints and normalize them. Quebec RBQ ships a daily bulk CSV (inside a 10.8 MB zip, ~924k rows that dedupe to ~54k active licences). Ontario HCRA has no bulk file โ it's an internal JSON API behind the public registry. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
