Forget HTML dumps or rigid markdown outputs that you need to parse yourself. Carl delivers structured, ready-to-use data, along with insightful summaries, exactly as requested - no regex required, even when websites change their layout.

Carl's web crawling process is both simple and sophisticated
Tell Carl which website to visit and what data you need in plain English. For example: "Get the price and availability of this product."
Carl crawls the website and uses AI to understand its structure, detect JavaScript, and identify where your data might be located.
Based on the page analysis, Carl automatically selects the best scraping approach - from simple requests to advanced JavaScript rendering.
If your data isn't on the current page, Carl will intelligently navigate through the website to find it (up to 5 layers deep with Deep Search).
Carl returns your data, along with confidence scores, citations, and a comprehensive summary of all the information he found.
Carl has three ways to explore the web, from lightning-quick to deeply thorough
When Carl stays on a single page, he's like a laser-focused detective. No navigation, no distractions - just extracting exactly what you need from the page you specified. Perfect for pricing pages or other content where you know exactly where your data lives!
Carl becomes a curious explorer, checking out the most promising links on the page (up to 3!) to find your data. Ideal for finding contact details, pricing information, or product specs that might be one click away from your starting page.
The full webcrawling experience! Carl ventures up to 5 layers deep into the website to collect comprehensive data. Perfect for company enrichment for CRMs, gathering information when you only know the base URL, or extracting data spread across multiple sections.
Precision Mode is designed for scenarios where you know exactly which page contains your target data, like pricing pages, product details, or company information pages.
{
"url": "https://example.com/pricing",
"target_data": {
"basic_plan": "Basic plan price (number)",
"pro_plan": "Pro plan price (number)",
"enterprise_plan": "Enterprise plan details"
},
"intelligent_search": false
}
Smart Navigator Mode enables Carl to explore one layer beyond the initial page, making it perfect for scenarios where data is just one click away, like contact details, pricing information, or product specifications.
{
"url": "https://example.com/contact",
"target_data": {
"email": "Company email address",
"phone": "Phone number",
"address": "Physical address"
},
"intelligent_search": true,
"deepsearch": false
}
Deep Dive Mode is a full webcrawling solution that navigates through multiple layers of a website to find comprehensive data, ideal for company enrichment for CRMs or when you only know the base URL.
{
"url": "https://example.com",
"target_data": {
"company_name": "Company name",
"employees": "Employee count (number)",
"office_locations": "List of office locations (array)",
"social_profiles": "Social media profiles (array)",
"leadership_team": "Key executives (array)"
},
"intelligent_search": true,
"deepsearch": true
}
Carl's a clever little worm - he'll use multi-threading in Deep Dive and Smart Navigator modes to process multiple URLs in parallel, making him extra speedy while still being gentle on websites!
