Spider Cloud
Rust-based web scraping and crawling cloud built for AI agents.
About
Spider Cloud is a Rust-based web scraping and crawling service positioned as the web crawler for AI agents and LLMs. Point it at a URL and get back clean markdown, structured JSON, screenshots, or links, with anti-bot bypass, residential proxies, headless browsers, and native integrations for MCP, LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, and AutoGen. Its REST API exposes crawl, scrape, search, links, screenshot, unblocker, and transform endpoints with up to 10,000 requests per minute per account.
The hosted MCP server at mcp.spider.cloud authenticates via OAuth with no API key needed, while API-key access is available through an Authorization header. Community materials cite roughly $0.48 per 1,000 pages with free credits on signup, and an open-source self-hosted option exists alongside the cloud service.
