Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about XCrawl.
What is XCrawl?
XCrawl is an AI-ready web scraping API that converts websites into structured JSON, Markdown, HTML, and screenshots. It includes built-in proxies, crawling, and SERP data for developers.
How is XCrawl different from other web scraping tools?
Traditional scrapers often return raw HTML. XCrawl delivers clean JSON and Markdown, plus built-in proxy rotation, SERP API, and integrations with MCP, n8n, and Zapier for faster production workflows.
Is XCrawl free to try?
Yes. Every new account includes 1,000 free credits with no credit card required, so you can test scraping, crawling, SERP data, and AI-ready output before upgrading.
Can XCrawl scrape JavaScript-heavy websites?
Yes. XCrawl uses headless browser rendering to handle SPAs, infinite scroll, and dynamic client-side content, then extracts data after key elements load.
What output formats does XCrawl support?
XCrawl returns structured JSON, AI-ready Markdown, raw HTML, and screenshots. Use JSON for systems integration and Markdown for token-efficient LLM workflows.
Which programming languages can use XCrawl?
XCrawl is a REST API, so it works with any language. Official SDKs are available for Python and Node.js/TypeScript, with examples for Go, Ruby, PHP, and cURL.
Does XCrawl work with AI agents and automation tools?
Yes. XCrawl supports MCP for Claude, plus n8n, Zapier, Make, and custom pipelines so AI agents can access live web data in real time.
How do I get started with XCrawl?
Create a free account at xcrawl.com, copy your API key from the dashboard, and send your first request. You get 1,000 free credits and quick-start examples for Python, Node.js, and cURL.
How do XCrawl pricing and credits work?
Each request uses credits based on complexity. Standard pages, SERP requests, and advanced features may consume different amounts. Check the pricing page for the latest credit table.
Do I need coding skills to use XCrawl?
No. You can run XCrawl through no-code platforms like n8n and Zapier, or use SDKs and REST calls for advanced developer workflows.
