Olostep

Answer a factual question using web search, optionally shaped into a flat JSON object of fields, with sources and citations. Suited to bounded, factual answers such as a company's founding year or a product's current price. Lists of items on a live page, such as the latest blog posts, come back more reliably from scraping that page.

Scrape a SPECIFIC, KNOWN list of URLs (typically from different domains). **Do NOT use this for crawling a website** - if the user wants to scrape a whole site or 'crawl' a domain, use `create_crawl` instead. Use this only when you already have an explicit list of URLs to scrape (e.g., user provides a CSV of URLs, or you need to scrape unrelated pages). Returns a batch_id immediately. Use `get_batch_results` with the batch_id to fetch the scraped content once the batch completes (~5–8 min). Set `wait_for_completion_seconds` to poll automatically.

batch_scrape_urls

**PREFERRED tool for crawling a website.** Use this whenever the user says 'crawl', 'scrape the whole site', 'get all pages from a site', or wants multiple pages from a single domain. This is the CORRECT tool for any whole-site scraping task. **Do NOT use `batch_scrape_urls` for crawling** - that tool is only for when you already have a specific list of unrelated URLs from different domains. Starts an ASYNC crawl that autonomously discovers and scrapes pages by following links from a start URL. Returns a crawl_id - the crawl runs in the background. You MUST then call `get_crawl_results` with the returned crawl_id to poll status and retrieve the scraped pages. Do NOT call `get_batch_results` with a crawl_id - crawls and batches are separate resources.

create_crawl

List the URLs on a website without scraping their content. Suited to showing a site's pages, mapping a site, or picking a subset of URLs to scrape. `create_crawl` both discovers and scrapes pages when their content is needed too.

create_map

Retrieve the status and scraped content for a batch job. Pass the batch_id returned by batch_scrape_urls. If the batch is completed, returns the scraped content for each URL. If still in_progress, returns the current status so you can call again later.

get_batch_results

Retrieve the status and scraped pages for a crawl job. Pass the crawl_id returned by create_crawl. If the crawl is still in_progress, returns the current status so you can call again later (poll every ~10 seconds). Once completed, returns the list of discovered pages with their scraped content in the requested formats. This is the REQUIRED companion to create_crawl — create_crawl only kicks off the async job, this tool is how you actually get the content.

get_crawl_results

Retrieve content of a webpage in markdown

get_webpage_content

Find URLs on a website that match a search query, ranked by relevance. Returns links only and does not scrape page content.

get_website_urls

Extract content from a single URL. Supports multiple formats and JavaScript rendering.

scrape_website

Search the web for a given query and return structured results (non-AI, parser-based).

search_web
