Octen is a search API built for AI agents, not humans. Instead of one query at a time, it decomposes a question into sub-queries, fires them all at once, and returns results in 62ms (P50), several times faster than other providers. Pricing is $1 per 1,000 calls, well below typical rates of $4 to $9. A single account handles over 1,000,000 queries per second, with new content indexed within 5 minutes. Our embedding models rank #1 on RTEB and MMEB-v2.
This is the 3rd launch from Octen. View more
Octen Extract
Launched this week
Octen Extract is a fetch API built for AI agents: one API call turns up to 20 URLs into clean, model-ready markdown, plus an understanding of what each page is.
It detects the page structure (article, login wall, error page) and assigns topics from 160+ categories, so agents stop burning tokens on empty pages.
Pass a query to get relevance-ranked highlights instead of full content: 50k-token pages compress to ~300. PDFs work natively. Flat $1 per 1,000 successful pages; failed fetches are free.

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Aaron, Head of Data at Octen.👋
If you build AI agents, you know the problem: a fetch returns HTTP 200, but the "content" is a login wall, a cookie banner, or a soft 404. Your agent can't tell until it's already burned tokens reading the page into context.
Octen Extract is a fetch API that adds judgment before the model sees anything. Every URL comes back as clean markdown plus what the page is: structure (article, index, login wall, error) and topic from 160+ categories: the same understanding engine behind Octen Search's index. Pass a query and you get relevance-ranked highlights instead of full pages (we've seen 50k-token pages compress to ~300). PDFs work natively.
One API call, get up to 20 URLs, flat $1 per 1,000 successful pages, failed fetches are free.
What's the most tokens your agent has wasted on a page that turned out to be nothing? Would love to hear what you're building.
