agent-data: Structured Web Data for OpenClaw Agents, 70% Cheaper Than Browser Automation
agent-data is a new tool that gives AI agents like OpenClaw access to structured web data through purpose-built Python API endpoints. It covers sources like X and Reddit posts, flight fares and statuses, and live job postings — all without browser automation.
Key Details
- Each endpoint is a pure Python API designed for AI agent consumption, with intuitive parameters and structured output by default.
- Progressive disclosure for token management helps control costs.
- The author benchmarked agent-data against browser automation and ad-hoc scraping, finding it both significantly cheaper and more reliable. Full benchmark results: agent-data.dev/blog/benchmarking-ai-agent-web-access/
- Use cases include daily summaries of r/OpenClaw posts or notifications when roundtrip flights to SFO drop below $300.
Who It's For
Developers using OpenClaw (or similar AI agents) who need reliable, cost-effective access to structured web data for recurring tasks.
