Scrape and monitor websites

Map a site's URLs, crawl or extract its pages as clean markdown, and get told when a page changes, through one MCP connection with several scraping providers behind it.

The problem

Your agent needs the content of web pages, not search snippets, and needs to notice when a pricing or docs page changes. Running your own scraper means proxies and headless browsers, and each scraping API wants its own account and plan.

Which scrapers run it

Page extraction can run on Ahel's self-hosted engines or on hosted providers such as Firecrawl. Ahel picks by measured success and moves to the next provider when one fails; each task page lists them in order with their prices. You do not need an account with any of them.

What monitoring costs

Starting a monitor and reading its changes have no charge. Each successful page check uses a small amount of your balance, shown on the monitor's task page, and failed checks are free.

Public pages only

Monitors watch public pages whose terms allow it, respect robots.txt and never get around logins or access controls.
