## Summary

The API bundles four functions—scraping, search, mapping, and crawling—behind a single API key and dashboard. CEO Vaidotas Juknys said AI startups lack time to build their own scraping stacks, and the new service lets them focus on product features. The service runs on Decodo’s proxy network of over 125 million IPs in more than 195 locations.

The Scrape endpoint returns cleaned page content even behind anti‑bot measures. Search replaces the former Fast Search API with live web results. Map can return up to 147,000 URLs per call, while Crawl can collect up to 10 K pages in a single job. Decodo offers a free tier of 10,000 requests per month shared across all endpoints, no credit card needed, allowing teams to pilot the API before moving to a paid plan.
