Introduction

The Peep API — scrape, crawl, search, and extract the web.

Peep is an AI-native web scraping API. Point it at a URL and get back clean Markdown, structured JSON, links, images, screenshots, or a full-site crawl — built to power agents, RAG pipelines, and data products. Every endpoint is a single authenticated HTTP call.
