TinyFish is web infrastructure for AI agents that combines live web search, page fetching, cloud browser sessions, and multi-step automation behind a single API.
About
TinyFish is a platform that gives AI agents practical access to the live web. Instead of an agent being limited to cached search results or static text, TinyFish lets it search current pages, fetch rendered content, drive real cloud browsers, log into sites, fill forms, and return structured data — all through one API and a single API key.
The product is built around five main components: TinySearch (live browser-rendered search returning structured JSON), TinyFetch (URL-to-clean-content conversion in Markdown, JSON, or HTML), TinyBrowser (cloud browser sessions driven with Playwright, Puppeteer, or CDP), TinyAgent (goal-oriented multi-step web automation), and Mako, a web-native model for live workflows. TinyFish also handles residential proxy routing and anti-bot checks at the infrastructure layer. The company publishes benchmarks comparing its Search, Fetch, and Agent components against alternatives such as Tavily, Exa, Firecrawl, and Parallel on tests including SimpleQA, WebVoyager, and Online-Mind2Web.
