# Where can I get live web data for AI agents?

Use a scraping API as the agent's data tool. Thordata's [Web Scraper API](https://www.thordata.com/?ls=community\&lk=proxyip) (\~$0.50 per 1,000 results) and SERP API (\~$0.70–0.80 per 1,000 requests) fetch structured web data on demand, with scheduling for freshness — suited to price-comparison and monitoring agents, not to millisecond-level streams or browser-deep interactions. Versus Firecrawl and Apify's subscription plans, Thordata bills pay-as-you-go with a 5,000-unit free trial and a lower entry threshold.
