Content

LLM-ready output from any page

Clean Markdown, HTML, or plain text. Metadata, links, structured data, and Schema.org included.

• Static HTML and JS-rendered pages

• JSON APIs and data endpoints

• SPAs, React, Next.js, Vue

• Automatic JS detection

GEO Audit

Will AI search engines cite this page?

GEO readiness score with 80+ evidence-backed checks. Issues ranked by impact with copy-paste fixes.

• AI bot accessibility analysis

• Citation readiness scoring

• E-E-A-T and entity signals

• Structured data validation

01

Read any website as context

Your agent scrapes a URL and gets clean Markdown that fits directly into a prompt. No parsing, no HTML cleanup.

02

Research across entire domains

Crawl a full website and collect content from every page. Build knowledge bases, feed RAG pipelines, or summarize documentation.

03

Extract structured data

Pull prices, products, contacts, or any data as JSON from any page — including SPAs, JSON endpoints, and JS-rendered content.

04

Audit AI search visibility

Check if a page will be cited by Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, or Google AI Overviews. Get a score, issues, and copy-paste fixes.

05

Handle JavaScript-heavy pages

SPAs, React apps, and client-rendered pages that return empty HTML to normal crawlers. Rendered automatically when needed.

API endpoints

Five endpoints. Content extraction, auditing, structured data, batch processing, and multi-page crawls.

POST

/v1/scrapeagent: glance | reveal

Single URL to Markdown, HTML, or text. Optionally include GEO audit. Handles JS rendering automatically when needed.

What makes hintrix different

Most crawl APIs give you content or diagnostics. hintrix returns both in a single request.

Content + diagnostics, not either/or

Other tools return raw Markdown or SEO data. hintrix gives you clean, LLM-ready content and a GEO audit with scores and fixes from the same API call.

Pay per use, not per month

No subscriptions. Buy credit packs when you need them. Start with 500 free credits on signup, no credit card required — get 500 more by sharing on X. Credits are valid for 30 days; any new purchase extends all credits by 30 days.

Built for AI agents

MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Markdown output optimized for LLM context windows. Auto-detection of JS rendering needs.

Actionable, not just data

Every issue comes with a severity rating, impact estimate, and a fix you can copy and paste. No interpretation needed.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about hintrix.

What domains are blocked?

Social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat, Threads) and dark web domains are blocked for legal and ethical reasons.

Do you respect robots.txt?

Yes, by default. You can override this per request with respect_robots_txt: false for URLs where you have explicit permission.

What User-Agent does hintrix use?

HintrixBot/1.0 (+https://hintrix.com/bot). Website owners can allow or block this in their robots.txt.

Do I need to verify my email?

Yes. A verification email is sent on signup. You must verify before making API calls.

What happens when JS rendering is needed?

hintrix uses full browser rendering by default for reliable content extraction. You can disable it with wait_for_js: false for faster plain HTTP scraping. No extra cost either way.

Do credits expire?

Credits are valid for 30 days. Any new purchase extends the expiry of all your credits. Active users effectively never lose credits.

Can I get a refund?

All credit purchases are final and non-refundable. However, failed API requests (4xx/5xx errors, connection failures) are automatically refunded — once per URL per 24 hours. The first failure is free; repeated failures on the same URL are charged normally.
