TinyFish: The Unified Platform for AI Agents to Operate the Live Web

Overview

TinyFish is a comprehensive platform designed to provide AI agents with reliable access to the live web. Unlike traditional search engines that rely on cached data, TinyFish integrates four core capabilities—Search, Fetch, Browser, and Agent—into a single API key and unified wallet. This integration allows developers to build robust AI solutions that navigate dynamic pages, authenticate into secure portals, and extract structured data at scale.

Benefits

TinyFish offers several key advantages for developers and businesses:

• Real-Time Data: The Search API provides fresh results from the live web by hitting Google's actual index through a real browser. This avoids secondary indexes or cached results, making it ideal for tracking pricing shifts, monitoring earnings, or capturing breaking news.
• Clean Data Extraction: The Fetch API renders web pages in a real browser and converts them into clean, token-efficient formats like Markdown, JSON, or HTML. It strips away noise to provide the page as it actually appears to a user, optimized for research pipelines and automation.
• High Accuracy: The Web Agent is benchmarked as the highest publicly rated web agent, achieving 89.9% accuracy on the Mind2Web benchmark. It outperforms competitors like Operator and Claude on hard tasks, ensuring production tasks are completed accurately at scale.
• Secure Access: The Browser API provides stealth sessions for tasks requiring login or interaction with bot-protected sites. It uses C++ patches compiled directly into the Chromium binary to bypass anti-bot protections like Cloudflare, Akamai, and DataDome, with a 99.3% detection coverage pass rate.
• Unified Simplicity: TinyFish consolidates these four distinct functions into one platform, eliminating the need for complex routing code or multiple vendor integrations. Users only need one API key and one wallet for billing.

Use Cases

TinyFish is trusted by teams where web complexity is a critical factor. Examples include:

• Financial Monitoring: Tracking lithium carbonate spot prices in real-time, fetching live data that shows current prices versus outdated cached data.
• Insurance Renewals: Automating the process of gathering quotes from multiple carriers, bypassing bot protections, and flagging premium increases.
• Market Research: Gathering genuine crowd-sourced sentiment and data from gated or dynamic sources.
• Vendor Portals: Accessing dynamic catalogs and compliance dashboards where sites change frequently.

Pricing

TinyFish offers a simple, usage-based pricing structure designed for real web work:

• Search & Fetch: Completely free.
• Agent Steps: $0.016 per step.
• Browser Minutes: $0.002 per minute.

Vibes

TinyFish is built for production reliability and has gained trust from various teams. It is used by companies such as ClassPass, DoorDash, Digital Garage, Grubhub, The Zebra, and TestSprite to solve complex automation problems. The platform's transparency is highlighted by open-sourced and independently verifiable benchmark runs. Users appreciate its ability to handle dynamic pages and authenticated flows that other tools cannot, making it a reliable choice for production environments.

Additional Information

TinyFish is MCP (Model Context Protocol) native, making it easy to integrate with major AI clients like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools. Developers can add web capabilities to their agent stacks with a single configuration change. The platform's unified architecture simplifies authentication and management, allowing developers to focus on creating impactful applications rather than dealing with the friction of building web-interacting AI.
