This guide covers the setup process, configuration for Cursor and LangChain, practical workflows, and real-world use cases that turn AI agents into web-data-aware systems.
Product & API Guides5-Minute Quick Start: Get Your First Structured Dataset with the AntsData API
AntsData is a global data collection platform that provides managed scraper APIs for web pages, search engines, social media platforms, and e-commerce marketplaces.

The Web Unlocker `scrape` endpoint costs 1.2 CNY per 1,000 records. Specialized endpoints (Google SERP, Amazon, social scrapers) range from 1.2 to 2 CNY per 1,000 records.
