What is TinyFish?
TinyFish is an enterprise-grade infrastructure platform built specifically for AI web agents. It lets your AI models interact with the live web—searching, logging in, filling forms, and extracting clean data—at scale, without managing browsers or fighting anti-bot systems yourself. Unlike basic web search tools that return stale or cached results, TinyFish uses real, stealthy Chromium browsers to fetch what’s actually on the page right now.
Whether you’re monitoring pricing shifts, automating insurance quotes, or tracking breaking news, TinyFish gives your AI the reliable, up-to-date web access it needs. And thanks to its fully serverless architecture, you can run hundreds of concurrent browser sessions with no infrastructure overhead—all controlled through a single, unified API.
What are the features of TinyFish?
- Search API: Returns fresh, structured search results from the live web—no caching—ideal for fast-changing data like earnings reports or commodity prices.
- Fetch API: Turns any URL into clean, token-efficient markdown, JSON, or HTML by rendering pages in a real browser first.
- Web Agent: A highly accurate (89.9% on Mind2Web benchmark) multi-step automation tool that navigates sites, fills forms, logs in, and extracts structured data.
- Browser API: Provides authenticated, stealthy Chromium sessions that bypass Cloudflare, Akamai, and other anti-bot protections with sub-250ms cold starts.
- Unified API Key: All four products share one key, one credit pool, and zero routing code—the platform automatically picks the right tool for each task.
- MCP-Native Integration: Works out of the box with popular AI agent frameworks like Claude, Cursor, Dify, and more via the Model Context Protocol.
