AI Agent for Web Scraping

Pinobyte built a web data extraction API for a residential-proxy provider: send a URL, get back clean, structured content — HTML, Markdown or JSON.

It handles the hard parts automatically — picking the right approach for each target (LinkedIn, search engines, or any page), getting past anti-bot blocks, and returning usable data. No per-site scrapers to build or maintain.

And it's built for AI: an agent layer on top lets AI apps and agents pull live, structured web data as a tool.

Web data extraction, built for AI.

Pinobyte built a web data extraction API for a residential-proxy provider: send a URL, get back clean, structured content — HTML, Markdown or JSON.

It handles the hard parts automatically — picking the right approach for each target (LinkedIn, search engines, or any page), getting past anti-bot blocks, and returning usable data. No per-site scrapers to build or maintain.

On top, an agent layer makes it usable by AI — agents and AI apps pull live, structured web data as a tool over MCP.

Architecture: consumers (app or AI agent via MCP) call a FastAPI service that auto-routes extraction (LinkedIn, search engines, generic + anti-bot) and runs an LLM layer that extracts answers from AI chatbots, returning structured data; supported by async workers, Postgres, proxy infrastructure and observability, on AWS.
One URL or prompt in, clean structured data out — a self-managing extraction pipeline plus an LLM layer, all agent-ready over MCP.

The Client

Our client is a residential-proxy / data-infrastructure provider — their product is a large pool of residential and datacenter exit IPs plus unblocking infrastructure. Their customers increasingly want the data those proxies unlock, delivered as clean structured content and usable by their own AI apps — not raw proxies they still have to build scrapers on.

The Client Request

The client needed a production web-data-extraction API on top of their network: give it any URL and get usable structured content back — LinkedIn, search engines, or arbitrary pages — without customers writing site-specific scrapers.

It also had to be AI-native: expose every capability to AI agents as callable tools, and add an LLM layer that pulls answers directly from AI chatbots.

And it had to run as a real product — sync and async (batch, crawl, search) jobs, retries, full observability, and a clean cloud deploy.

Challenges & Solutions

Every target behaves differently — LinkedIn, search engines and arbitrary pages all need different handling — and asking customers to build a scraper per site doesn't scale.
One endpoint auto-detects the target and routes it automatically — a structured path for LinkedIn, a SERP path for search engines, a generic path for everything else — so callers send a URL and get structured data back, never a scraper to write.
Protected pages block naive requests, and a single blocked attempt shouldn't fail the whole job.
The pipeline runs in adaptive or stealth mode and escalates through fetch tiers — rotating the exit IP and retrying on each attempt, all on the provider's own proxy and unblocking infrastructure — so bot-detection and geo-blocking are handled transparently.
The client wanted the platform usable by AI, not just by developers writing HTTP calls.
We exposed every capability over MCP and added an agent layer on top, so AI apps and agents can pull structured web data as a tool — not just developers writing HTTP calls.
One-off requests aren't a product — it had to run jobs at scale, reliably, and be observable in production.
Sync single extraction plus asynchronous batch, crawl and search jobs run on a worker queue with capped concurrency, idempotent late-ack retries and cancellation; end-to-end tracing, metrics and logs (OpenTelemetry) make every request debuggable — deployed on the cloud.

Result

The result is a single production web-data-extraction API that turns the client's network into a data product: any URL or prompt in, clean structured content out (HTML, Markdown, JSON), with the target auto-detected and anti-bot handled transparently — no per-site scrapers.

It detects and adapts to the major commercial anti-bot systems — Cloudflare, DataDome, Akamai, PerimeterX, Imperva and the common CAPTCHA vendors — and keeps getting better on hard targets, improving success and speed without ever switching the proxy provider.

It ships as a real product: sync and async (batch, crawl, search) jobs on a worker queue, idempotent retries, full OpenTelemetry tracing/metrics/logs, and an automated cloud deploy. Client names and per-request numbers aren't published — capabilities are described from the shipped system.
