Vector Database Ingestion with fastCRW — Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector, Milvus

Crawl any domain into clean markdown with fastCRW, chunk it, embed it, and bulk-insert into your vector database of choice — Pinecone, Chroma, Weaviate, Qdrant, pgvector/Supabase, or Milvus. One hub, six stores.

Web Scraping for Lead Enrichment

Use fastCRW to scrape company pages, directories, and public profiles for firmographic and contact data, then push structured fields into your CRM — fresher than vendor databases, cheaper per record, and automatable for AI SDR workflows.

AI-Powered Structured Extraction from the Web

Pull typed JSON out of any web page with fastCRW — define a JSON Schema, call /v1/extract on managed cloud (or /v1/scrape + jsonSchema self-hosted), and skip the brittle selector layer entirely.

Solution Pages

Web Scraping for LLM Agents

Give your LLM agent a reliable browse-and-extract tool — fastCRW's /v1/search and /v1/scrape over REST or MCP, with the same shape ChatGPT, Claude, and OpenAI agents already understand.

Web Dataset Curation for ML Training

Assemble training-ready JSONL datasets from the open web with fastCRW — /v1/map to enumerate URLs, /v1/scrape to fetch them as clean markdown, then deduplicate and serialise for HuggingFace, OpenAI fine-tuning, or your own loader.
