AgentQL Launch Week Recap—make the web AI-ready

Last week, we rolled out five exciting updates to make AgentQL faster, stealthier, and easier to use than ever before with a JavaScript SDK, REST API endpoint, and query generator. Whether you’re building AI agents, scraping data, or launching websites, these new features were built to help you unlock data and interact with the web like never before.

One week, one step closer to making the web AI-ready

Here’s a quick recap of everything we launched during AgentQL Launch Week—with links to explore each feature in detail.

REST API—AgentQL Everywhere

This endpoint gives you the power to retrieve data from any public web page via HTTP request with only a URL and an AgentQL query, unlocking hundreds of workflows. We showed off the AgentQL REST API with a Zapier integration—try it for yourself with this Zapier template (just add your free API key).

JavaScript SDK—AgentQL for Fullstack Developers

Our Python SDK has been popular with the data engineering crowd for awhile now, but from collaborations with companies like Heal.dev and feedback from our community, we learned that the AgentQL’s powerful parsing and automation capabilities would be welcome in Node.js environments. Fullstack teams can now integrate AgentQL into their testing, scraping, and automation workflows effortlessly.

Query Generation—AI-Powered Query Creation

With Query Generation, the AgentQL Playground can write queries for you. Just describe what you’re looking for in natural language, and AgentQL generates a fully functional query. Our founder Keith Zhai had much to share on X about how this feature unlocks not just engineers but researchers, journalists, and analysts.

The implications for business and journalism are profound. For years, the bottleneck wasn’t a lack of data—it was a lack of accessible tools to make sense of it.

You can learn more in the original Query Generation Launch Post or try it out on the Playground.

Fast Mode—Fast by Default

Speed met precision with Fast Mode, now the default for all AgentQL queries. This lighter-weight mode delivers snappy results without sacrificing quality, making it perfect for high-volume scraping, monitoring, and quick prototyping.

Learn more in the Fast Mode Launch Post or check out this handy guide for how to switch to Fast Mode for faster execution times. (​​If you need extra precision for complex or data-intensive dynamic websites, you can still enable Standard Mode to prioritize accuracy over speed!)

Stealth Mode—Enhanced Bot Detection Evasion

We upgraded Stealth Mode to minimize bot detection when scraping or automating actions on third-party websites. Check out the launch post, this handy guide to Avoiding Bot Detection with Stealth Mode, or implement it today with our Stealth Mode Example Script (now in JavaScript, too!)

What’s Next? You tell us.

We can’t wait to see how you’ll use these new features, and we’re already thinking about what’s next for AgentQL. Your feedback is critical to shaping our roadmap, so if you haven’t already, we’d love for you to take a moment to fill out our Community Survey.

Thank you for joining us for Launch Week! We hope these new features empower you to build, automate, and explore with AgentQL. If you have questions, ideas, or want to chat about all things AgentQL, join us on our community Discord. Let’s build the future together.
