1 request is counted as one webpage/pdf. We don't charge you additionally for GB or for proxies and all those costs are included in the cost per request.
We don't charge for failed requests. If you are using the answer endpoint or an endpoint that needs to make LLM calls we will pass down those costs to you but on our end we only charge for successful requests.
You can access and interact with any website that is publicly accessible. If you are building AI automations and your agent needs to pass cookies or login, get in touch at info@olostep.com

The API returns the id of the request (for future retrievals), the Markdown and the HTML of the page. You can also retrieve JSON with specific parsers or structured data with LLM extraction. If you are using the /answers endpoint as the search basis for your AI it will return an answer, a json in the schema you have defined and the sources Olostep has searched.

Olostep is especially useful for AI startups that rely on Web data to power or improve their services or for companies that need to enrich data, monitor websites changes, analyze historical web data and equip their AIs with web search capabilities to ground them on real world data and facts. Olostep can also be used by developers, AI engineers, data scientists, and researchers looking to use web data for market research, LLM-finetuning, and more. Olostep returns clean, structured data in one single API so that it's compatible with existing backend.
Yes, Olostep lets you extract data using natural language prompts. If you know the exact URL containing your data, use the /scrapes endpoint with llm_extract and describe what you want to extract. At scale, for deterministic needs, we recommend using Olostep's parsers. For more complex tasks like searching for data, navigating between pages, handling pagination, or validating results, use the /agents endpoint that automatically finds and extracts data based on your prompt.
