# What is Messora

> LLM-ready scraping API with a native anti-bot engine. Extract, search, and crawl the web via API.

# Welcome to Messora

Messora is a scraping API built to power AI applications.
With a native anti-bot engine, it returns clean content as Markdown, structured
JSON, or raw HTML — ready for LLMs, data pipelines, and automations.

## Credit model

| Operation                | Cost                         |
| ------------------------ | ---------------------------- |
| Scrape (markdown / raw)  | 1 credit per page            |
| Scrape (structured JSON) | 10 credits per request       |
| Search                   | 1 credit per returned result |
| Crawl                    | 1 credit per successful page |

Failures (anti-bot block, timeout, extraction error) do **not** consume credits.
