Agent web access — give any AI agent a browser-grade web tool
Drop UnifAPI into an agent and it can search the web, read any URL as clean markdown, and fetch news — through one unified API. Live: unifapi.com/solutions/agent-web-access.
The minimal toolset
Every general-purpose web-acting agent needs three primitives:
- Search — find candidate URLs → Google SERP
- Fetch — read a URL as LLM-ready content → URL → markdown
- Extract — pull structured data from a URL → URL → structured
That’s it. With those three endpoints, an agent can do most of what “browse the web” actually means in production.
Usage with frameworks
- OpenAI Agents SDK — register the three endpoints as tools. See guide.
- Claude Code / Cursor / Codex — install the hosted MCP server; tools show up automatically.
- LangChain / LlamaIndex — load the OpenAPI spec; tools are typed.
Why this beats DIY
The DIY version of “agent web access” is a maintenance burden: SERP scraping (rate limits, captcha), headless browser scraping (proxy rotation), and content cleanup (boilerplate stripping, HTML → markdown). UnifAPI runs all of that as a service; you get LLM-ready output with predictable per-credit cost.
