Nimble Platform, Products, and APIs
Platform summary
Nimble's platform is built around live web access plus structured delivery.
The main product surface described in current owned materials includes:
-
Web Search Agents
-
Search API
-
Answers API
-
Extract API
-
Crawl API
-
Map API
-
Proxy API
Nimble presents these as a mix of self-serve building blocks and managed options.
Two main operating modes
1. Web Search Agents
Web Search Agents are presented as the fastest way to get structured data from specific domains or use cases.
Owned materials describe them as suitable for:
-
getting structured data fast
-
streaming data feeds from specific domains
-
handling live search and extraction without custom scraper maintenance
-
supporting both customer-built and Nimble-managed configurations
2. SDK and APIs
For teams that want more control, Nimble offers APIs and SDK-driven workflows.
This path is positioned for customers that want to:
-
define their own extraction logic
-
control parsing behavior
-
choose drivers for different website complexity levels
-
build domain-specific agents and workflows programmatically

a gallery of Nimble-managed agents
-
custom managed service options
-
product onboarding support for larger customers
Supporting infrastructure described on owned pages
The structured data feeds page describes a pipeline that includes:
-
headless browser and proxy selection
-
stealth mode and adaptive unblocking
