WebLens tools (36, 1 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts
  • answer_questionFree

    Get a grounded answer with inline [n] citations: searches the web, fetches sources, and answers strictly from them. Price: $0.05

  • batch_fetchFree

    Fetch multiple URLs in parallel. Efficient for bulk operations. Price: $0.0015/URL

  • compare_urlsFree

    Compare 2-3 webpages and get AI-generated analysis of differences. Price: $0.05

  • crawl_siteFree

    Crawl a site and get clean markdown for every page in one synchronous call (no polling). Same-host BFS with depth and page-budget limits, robots.txt honoured by default. Price: $0.0015 per requested page (1-25) — you are billed for the requested budget, not the pages returned

  • deep_researchFree

    Multi-step cited research in one call: plans sub-questions, searches each, fetches and dedupes sources, then synthesizes an answer with inline [n] citations, key findings, and gaps. Unlike `research` ($0.08, one search + summary) this decomposes the question and cites every claim. SLOW: a standard run takes ~30-60 seconds — use a generous client timeout and do not retry on timeout. Price: $0.20 standard (3 sub-questions, 8 sources) / $0.35 deep (5 sub-questions, 12 sources)

  • detect_techFree

    What a website is built and run on, from a single fetch: framework, CMS, ecommerce platform, CDN, analytics, payments, support widgets and web server — each reported with the response header or HTML marker that proves it. Use for competitive research, sales prospecting and vendor due diligence. Price: $0.005

  • domain_intelFree

    Everything about a domain in one call: who registered it and when, when it expires, its DNS records, the mail and DNS providers behind them, the SaaS vendors its TXT verification tokens reveal (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, Atlassian, Okta, …), SPF/DMARC posture, and risk flags like newly-registered or no-registrar-lock. Use for vendor due diligence, security triage, phishing checks and prospect research. Price: $0.005

  • extract_dataFree

    Extract structured data from a webpage using a JSON schema. AI-powered extraction. Price: $0.03

  • extract_pdfFree

    Extract text and metadata from a PDF document. Price: $0.004

  • fetch_resilientFree

    Resilient fetch with automatic fallback: native scraper first, then headless Chromium for JS-rendered or bot-walled pages. Price: $0.008

  • fetch_webpageFree

    Fetch and convert a webpage to clean markdown. Fast, no JavaScript rendering. Price: $0.002

  • fetch_webpage_proFree

    Fetch webpage with full JavaScript rendering. Use for SPAs and dynamic content. Price: $0.006

  • get_contentsFree

    Fetch 1-20 URLs and get clean markdown per page, truncated to a character cap. Price: $0.0015/URL

  • intel_companyFree

    Company intelligence deep dive: tech stack, funding, team, competitors, news. Price: $1.00

  • intel_competitiveFree

    Competitive analysis: feature matrix, pricing, SWOT analysis. Price: $8.00

  • intel_marketFree

    AI-powered market research report with trends, key players, and data points. Price: $5.00

  • intel_site_auditFree

    Comprehensive SEO, performance, and security audit with scoring. Price: $0.75

  • map_siteFree

    Discover a site's URLs without fetching page content — reads robots.txt sitemap directives, sitemap.xml and nested sitemap indexes, falling back to homepage link extraction. Price: $0.004

  • memory_setFree

    Store key-value data in persistent agent memory. Price: $0.001

  • monitor_createwrite actionFree

    Create a URL change detection monitor with webhook notifications. Price: $0.01

  • package_intelFree

    Should you depend on this package? One call returns version, license, deprecation status WITH the maintainer's reason, weekly/monthly downloads, last release date, maintainer count, npm's quality/popularity/maintenance scores, and health signals (deprecated, no-recent-release, no-license, single-maintainer, no-public-repository). Supports npm and PyPI. Price: $0.003

  • preview_endpointFree

    FREE. See what a paid WebLens endpoint costs and what it returns before paying: the live price, a one-line summary, and a recorded sample of the exact response shape. Endpoints with no paid upstream (/fetch/basic, /contents, /map) also run a real truncated LIVE preview when you pass a url; SerpAPI- and Anthropic-backed endpoints return the recorded sample only, because free live runs there would burn upstream credits. Price: free

  • project_due_diligenceFree

    Off-chain due diligence on a project's web presence — the half an on-chain rug checker cannot see. Returns domain age and registrar, whether a team page, whitepaper, docs and socials exist, whether the site is an off-the-shelf template, and a cross-check of a contract address against the addresses actually printed on the project's own website (a mismatch is a strong impersonation signal). Gives weighted risk signals and an A-F grade. Reads NOTHING on-chain — pair it with a contract/liquidity checker. Price: $0.05

  • researchFree

    One-stop research: searches web, fetches top results, and summarizes findings. Price: $0.08

  • screenshotFree

    Capture a screenshot of a webpage. Returns base64 PNG image. Price: $0.008

  • search_autocompleteFree

    Get Google Autocomplete suggestions for a partial query — keyword research and intent discovery. Price: $0.015

  • search_discussionsFree

    What Hacker News said about a topic: matching stories with points, comment counts and links to the threads, plus aggregates — total matches, points and comments returned, most-submitted domains, and when it was first and last discussed. Price: $0.004

  • search_imagesFree

    Search Google Images for direct image URLs with dimensions, thumbnails, and source pages. Price: $0.015

  • search_newsFree

    Search Google News for real-time articles with source, date, and thumbnail. Price: $0.015

  • search_placesFree

    Search local businesses via Google Local: names, addresses, ratings, reviews, phone, website, coordinates. Price: $0.045

  • search_scholarFree

    Search Google Scholar for academic papers with snippets, publication info, and citation counts. Price: $0.015

  • search_shoppingFree

    Search Google Shopping for products with prices, sellers, ratings, and links. Price: $0.015

  • search_trendsFree

    Get Google Trends interest-over-time timeline for a query. Price: $0.015

  • search_webFree

    Search the web and get real-time results with snippets. Set includeContent to also fetch the top result pages as markdown (+$0.0015/result). Price: $0.015

  • smart_extractFree

    Extract data using natural language. AI understands what you want. Price: $0.035

  • youtube_transcriptFree

    Get the full transcript of a YouTube video with timestamps. Accepts a video ID or any YouTube URL. Price: $0.03

What the publisher says

From the WebLens repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

WebLens

Premium web intelligence API for AI agents, with x402 micropayments. No accounts, no API keys — pay per request in USDC on Base.

🌐 Live API: https://api.weblens.dev 📖 Interactive docs: https://api.weblens.dev/docs 🤖 Agent guide: https://api.weblens.dev/llms.txt 🔎 Marketplace: listed on x402scan

Try it free, right now

No wallet, no signup — these are rate limited to 10 requests/hour per IP:

curl https://api.weblens.dev/r/https://example.com     # any page as markdown
curl https://api.weblens.dev/s/cloudflare+workers      # web search

Preview before you pay (free)

An agent shouldn't have to buy a call to learn what it returns. POST /preview is free and answers that up front — the live price, a one-line summary, and a real sample of the exact response shape:

curl -X POST https://api.weblens.dev/preview \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"endpoint": "/answer"}'
{
  "endpoint": "/answer",
  "price": "$0.05",
  "currency": "USD",
  "summary": "A direct answer with inline [n] citations to real sources.",
  "sample": { "query": "...", "answer": "...", "citations": [], "confidence": 0.92 },
  "sampleType": "recorded",
  "livePreviewAvailable": false,
  "livePreviewHint": "This endpoint calls a paid upstream provider, so free live previews are not offered — the recorded sample shows the exact response shape."
}

Live vs recorded. A real, truncated live preview runs only for endpoints whose marginal cost is a plain fetch — currently /fetch/basic, /contents and /map — and only when you pass a url. Everything else is backed by a metered upstream (SerpAPI, Anthropic); running those free would burn upstream credits, so they return the recorded sample, which still shows every field name and type. An endpoint that isn't sold returns 404.

# live: the first 500 chars of the real result, for free
curl -X POST https://api.weblens.dev/preview \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"endpoint": "/fetch/basic", "url": "https://example.com"}'

Rate limited to 10 requests/hour per IP like the rest of the free tier.

ERC-8004: receipts and feedback

ERC-8004 (Trustless Agents) keeps compact signals on-chain and the detailed documents off-chain. WebLens hosts the off-chain half — the part a service operator can run without deploying a contract. To be precise about what that is and isn't: WebLens is not registered on-chain, holds no agent id, and writes nothing to any registry.

Two more things worth stating plainly:

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
