What is TinyFish?

TinyFish is an AI search tool. TinyFish gives AI agents a hosted web stack: live structured search, URL-to-content fetching, cloud browser sessions and a goal-driven agent that can log into portals, all under one API key, aimed at developers building web automation into LLM workflows.

TinyFish is a web infrastructure layer built for AI agents rather than for people clicking around a browser. It bundles four products behind a single API key and a single billing wallet: TinySearch returns fresh, browser-rendered search results as structured JSON, TinyFetch turns any URL into clean Markdown, JSON or HTML, TinyBrowser provides a cloud browser session driven with Playwright, Puppeteer or CDP, and TinyAgent takes a goal written in plain English and executes it against a live site. The target user is a developer or data team wiring an LLM into real web work. The homepage positions TinyFish as usable from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Grok, OpenClaw, Hermes or your own code, with nine further integrations implied. Typical jobs listed are monitoring pages for price or filing changes, enriching CRM records against the live web, research questions answered with linked sources, and automating third-party portals that sit behind a login. That last case is where the product gets more specific than a scraping API. TinyVault connects to 1Password or Bitwarden so a run receives only the credentials it needs and the model never sees them. TinyProfiles store a signed-in session so later runs start authenticated, and each run is recorded step by step for review. TinyAgent reports 89.9 percent on the Online-Mind2Web benchmark, with 81.9 percent on hard tasks, and the runs are published for independent checking. Alternatives usually cover one slice: a search endpoint, a headless browser, or a scraper. TinyFish argues the combined platform is the differentiator, which matters if you would otherwise stitch three vendors and three billing relationships together. The tradeoff is coupling: you are buying into a hosted execution layer, and the pricing model is usage-based per step, per minute and per check rather than a flat seat. Named customers include DoorDash, ClassPass, Grubhub, Amazon and The Zebra.

  3. 3Test search and fetch for free
    Call TinySearch for live structured results and TinyFetch to convert a URL into Markdown or JSON. Both are free on every plan, so this costs nothing.

  4. 4Connect it to your model or editor
    Add TinyFish as an MCP server or integration in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or your own codebase so your assistant can call the web tools directly.

  5. 5Set up credentials and sessions for gated sites
    Link 1Password or Bitwarden and save a signed-in profile so agent runs can reach authenticated portals without exposing logins to the model.
  6. 6Move to a browser or agent run
    Once simple calls work, escalate to a cloud browser session with persistent state or give TinyAgent a plain-English goal and review the recorded steps.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Four web capabilities (search, fetch, browser, agent) behind one API key and one billing wallet, which removes multi-vendor stitchingAI
  • TinySearch and TinyFetch are free on every plan, so evaluation costs nothing for the most common callsAI
  • Credential handling through 1Password or Bitwarden keeps logins out of the model context, a real gap in most agent toolingAI
  • Published Mind2Web benchmark results with open-sourced runs let buyers verify the agent accuracy claimsAI
  • Step-by-step run recordings make agent behaviour auditable, which matters for regulated or customer-facing workflowsAI

Cons

  • Usage-based pricing per agent step, browser minute and monitor check is harder to forecast than a flat subscriptionAI
  • The product is aimed squarely at developers and teams with API or MCP experience; there is no visual builder for non-technical usersAI
  • Multi-step agents on live sites can break when a target portal redesigns, and the homepage gives no detail on failure recoveryAI
  • Search is described as hitting Google's live index through a real browser, which ties result quality and cost to one upstream sourceAI
  • No public information on data retention or how recorded runs and fetched content are stored, which procurement teams will ask aboutAI
