Show HN: Quercle – Web Fetch/Search API for AI Agents
Inspiration: While building LLM agents, I needed simple web fetch + search (like Claude Code has), but existing tools gave raw HTML, irrelevant markdown, or broke on JS sites.
Evolution: Started as part of another project - pivoted to standalone as it was more feasible and scoped. Trade-off: Prioritized simplicity and LLM-ready outputs (via an LLM layer) over raw speed.
Now: Handles JS-heavy sites, easy integrations (LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, MCP).
Looking for early testers right now - DM me (@liran_yo on X) with your login email and I'll send you credits to try it out! Pricing shown isn't final yet - after gathering stats from users like you, I hope to lower it dramatically based on real usage patterns.
Does this solve your web data pains? Would you use it in production? What’s missing?
Thank you
- n1xis10t 10mo agoIs it based on your own index? If so how many pages are in the index?
- liran_yo 10mo agoNo. For the search tool I am using search engine results (and additional logic). For the fetch tool (and also search tool) I simply scrape it (I have a logic also to determine if scraping is needed and if so, if the page is rendered).
- n1xis10t 10mo agoGotcha. Which search engine(s) do you source results from?
- liran_yo 10mo agoDid you check it out? Have any feedback?
- n1xis10t 10mo agoI do stuff with search engines, not AI agents. If this was based on your own index or if it was based on multiple sources and then re-ranked, I would have been more interested. Knowing that it’s just Google (+ web fetch) though I’m not interested in testing it. Probably you need people to test it who actually do stuff with agents. This hacker news post didn’t get any traction, it looks like it was just me who noticed. I’m not sure what works well to get people’s attention on here, but maybe you could try adding a new post on HN for each interesting update, and focus on the interesting new thing in the title. If you don’t have a bunch of updates planned, maybe you could find the most interesting and distinctive things about this product and then make a different post about each, I think that would be okay. Maybe you should read the HN terms first though. I think that may have been the problem, the title of the post doesn’t make it apparent what is new and interesting about the product, it just says what it is, which is part of a product category that already exists.
- liran_yo 10mo agoI really appreciate this feedback. I will follow your advice and repost with a better distinctive title! You are the first person to actually give me real feedback so I am very thankful for that!
- n1xis10t 10mo agoNo problem! I really don’t know if it’ll work though, I don’t have much experience posting on here.
- liran_yo 10mo agoCurrently google
- liran_yo 10mo agoBTW - I made it know free to try out without contacting me - on signup you get 50 credits. And you can contact me to get more for free.
