AdsCrawl
AdsCrawl is a managed cloud browser and browser automation API for developers and AI agents. It provides hosted Chromium and web data APIs for rendering dynamic websites, collecting content, capturing screenshots, and performing authorized browser interactions.
Web data and automation
The HTML API can return rendered HTML, readable Markdown, or structured readability JSON. The screenshot API produces PNG images, with full-page or selector-based capture. Supported single-page application workflows can extract defined DOM or matching network fields and perform documented actions such as waiting, clicking, filling, pressing a key, and scrolling.
For scripted control, connect Playwright, Puppeteer, or another compatible CDP client to cloud Chromium. Temporary Remote CDP sessions are short-lived browser connections, separate from reusable Cloud Browser profiles, and should be deleted after the workflow.
Reusable Cloud Browser profiles
Cloud Browser profiles can be saved, started, queried, viewed live while running, and explicitly stopped for later use. Stopping releases the running allowance while retaining the saved profile. Closing the viewer alone does not stop the runtime. Launching a saved Cloud Browser requires a paid plan and a valid proxy.
Getting started and plans
HTTP APIs can be called from Node.js, Python, cURL, and other clients. Supported APIs provide managed regional or residential proxy routing, with custom proxy configuration where documented. Use cases include browser-based research, rendered content extraction, QA screenshots, monitoring, and authorized signed-in automation.
The Free plan includes a one-time grant of 500 credits for evaluating API access, HTML extraction, screenshots, and short CDP sessions. It can save one Cloud Browser profile but cannot launch it. Paid plans provide recurring credits and higher allowances. Developers should review current pricing and account limits, respect target-site permissions, and keep API keys, cookies, session tokens, and proxy credentials on trusted servers.
