## Tools

### Extract Content as Markdown

**Slug:** `SCRAPINGANT_EXTRACT_CONTENT_AS_MARKDOWN`

This tool extracts content from a given URL and converts it into Markdown format. It is particularly useful for preparing text for Language Learning Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. It supports GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods.

### Extract Data with AI

**Slug:** `SCRAPINGANT_EXTRACT_DATA_WITH_AI`

This tool allows you to extract structured data from a web page using ScrapingAnt's AI-powered extraction capabilities. You provide a URL and an AI query (prompt) describing what data you want to extract, and the tool returns the extracted data in a structured format. It supports additional parameters for browser rendering, proxies, and cookies to handle dynamic content and localization.

### Get API Credits Usage

**Slug:** `SCRAPINGANT_GET_API_CREDITS_USAGE`

This tool retrieves the current API credit usage status for the authenticated ScrapingAnt account. It enables users to monitor their consumption of API credits, check their current usage against the subscription limits, and manage their API credits effectively.

### Scrape Web Page

**Slug:** `SCRAPINGANT_SCRAPE_WEB_PAGE`

This tool scrapes a web page using the ScrapingAnt API. It fetches the HTML content of the specified URL. Users can customize the scraping behavior by enabling a headless browser, using proxies, waiting for specific elements, executing JavaScript, passing cookies, and blocking certain resources.

### Scrape with Extended JSON Output

**Slug:** `SCRAPINGANT_SCRAPE_WITH_EXTENDED_JSON_OUTPUT`

Scrapes a web page and returns comprehensive data including HTML content, plain text, cookies, HTTP headers, XHR/Fetch requests, and iframe content. This tool uses ScrapingAnt's extended endpoint which provides much richer data than standard scraping: - Full HTML and extracted plain text content - All cookies and HTTP response headers from the target page - Captured XHR/Fetch API requests made by the page (useful for finding hidden APIs) - Content from embedded iframes Best used when you need more than just the HTML - such as analyzing cookies, headers, or JavaScript API calls made by a page. For simple HTML scraping, consider using the basic scrape tool instead for lower API credit usage.
