Zyte Api for AI agents

Zyte API automates web data extraction, handling bans and dynamic content, used by data teams pulling structured data from websites at scale. 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 Zyte Api connects.

Users add their Zyte Api 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 Zyte Api 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

Zyte Api and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Zyte Api with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Zyte Api 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 Zyte Api actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Zyte Api?

Users add their Zyte Api 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 Zyte Api actions can my agent take?

7 in total: 4 read, 3 write and 0 destructive, such as “get Zyte API Status Rollup”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I make my agent read-only in Zyte Api?

Yes. Allow read actions and deny writes in the Zyte Api policy. Your agent can still look things up, and any write it attempts is blocked and logged.

Q05

Can my own backend call Zyte Api too?

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