Cloudflare blocks a lot of scrapers — but for AI agents extracting web knowledge, the situation is more nuanced. This guide explains what Cloudflare blocks, what it doesn't, and how scraping APIs handle it.
A vector database stores embeddings. A knowledge API handles extraction, chunking, embedding, indexing, and search — the whole pipeline. Here's when each makes sense.
Not all web data is equal for LLMs. This guide explains what makes web content truly LLM-ready — and how to extract it efficiently for RAG, fine-tuning, and agents.
