How it works

Three steps. Zero setup.

No accounts to create. No API keys to manage. Any agent with a Base wallet can start scraping in minutes.

01
🔍

Probe the URL

Call /probe with any URL. Get back the exact cost before committing payment. Always free.

02
⚡

Pay via x402

POST to /scrape. The x402 protocol settles $0.005 USDC on Base automatically — no human required.

03
📄

Receive markdown

Get clean, structured markdown back. Article mode strips nav and ads. Full mode returns the entire page.

🤖

Why zlurp

Unlike every other scraping tool.

Firecrawl, Diffbot, and ScrapingBee all require accounts, API keys, or billing setup — none of which an AI agent can do autonomously.
