What We Do
Developer infrastructure for the machines that browse the web.
APICALL.CO is a developer infrastructure platform built for AI agents and modern backends. One API key gives you reliable web scraping, PDF rendering, OCR, email verification, and composable pipelines — with sub-second latency and clean, predictable responses.
Web-to-Markdown API
Turn any URL into clean, LLM-ready markdown with metadata and links — one synchronous call.
Explore →HTML-to-PDF API
Render web pages and documents into production-grade PDFs with automatic retries and caching.
Explore →Document OCR
Extract structured text from scanned PDFs and invoices so your RAG index can read them too.
Explore →Custom Pipelines
Compose scrape → transform → export steps into reusable pipelines with variable templating.
Explore →Build your next project on 1,000 free credits.
No credit card. One key for scraping, PDFs, OCR, and more.
