NoodleSpy is an API for structured online research. It discovers conversations across the web, reads and analyzes them, and returns structured findings — themes, direct quotes, and source links — ready for your AI workflow.
What NoodleSpy does
Research Runs — Deep async research on any topic. Submit a topic, get back structured findings with themes, quotes, and sources.
Web Search — Google Custom Search via API. Discover URLs across the web or target specific sites.
Grounded Search — AI-generated answers grounded in web sources, with citations.
Fetch — Retrieve any web page as clean markdown, HTML, or a screenshot.
Who it's for
NoodleSpy is built for developers and AI agents. There are no dashboards or manual workflows. You make API calls, you get structured data back.
Common use cases:
AI agents that need to research topics before making decisions
Product teams monitoring user sentiment across communities
Market research pipelines that run on a schedule
Content tools that need grounded, cited information
