Partner Spotlight: MultiOn’s Retrieve API

The best-in-class autonomous web information retrieval API

After we launched the Agent API, we heard from many developers the need for natural language-based web understanding and data extraction capability to complement the action capabilities of the agent for autonomous web browsing. This became especially apparent as we talked to developers building agents for use cases that require web research and structured data extraction. 

The necessity became increasingly evident to us internally at MultiOn, to have a read capability - web understanding - that works in tandem with our write capability - web actions. When we researched the market for a viable way to extract structured data from web pages, we found a clear demand for a performative, easy-to-use API that could understand websites universally using natural language commands. So, we decided to build it ourselves: introducing the Retrieve API – the best-in-class NL web understanding and information retrieval API.

Unlike traditional approaches in search engines and APIs, our Retrieve API actively crawls and parses web pages in real-time to fetch structured information with market-leading accuracy and speed. Today, you can use the Retrieve API in tandem with the rest of our Agent API to create fully autonomous web agents that can navigate pages and scrape information in 3 lines of code. You can also leverage a multi-agent approach to retrieve information from multiple sources in parallel. See an easy example of how you can build with the Agent API here.
