Webscraper io for AI agents

Web Scraper.io runs cloud-based scraping jobs from configured sitemaps, used by data teams that extract structured data from websites on a schedule. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Webscraper io connects.

Users add their Webscraper io api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Webscraper io connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Webscraper io and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Webscraper io with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Webscraper io to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Webscraper io actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Webscraper io?

Users add their Webscraper io api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Webscraper io actions can my agent take?

10 in total: 5 read, 3 write and 2 destructive, such as “create Sitemap”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Webscraper io?

Yes. Actions like “delete Sitemap” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Webscraper io too?

Yes. The same Webscraper io connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
