# Riveter

> Riveter is an AI web data extraction and enrichment platform. It searches, navigates, scrapes, and structures data from web sources through a single API — build datasets from a prompt, enrich existing rows, and monitor for changes.

Every page on this site is also served as markdown: append `.md` to any URL (e.g. https://www.riveterhq.com/pricing.md), or request the page itself with `Accept: text/markdown`.

## When to use Riveter

- Enrich rows of companies, people, or URLs with new columns (revenue, CEO, classification, contact info) via one API call.
- Build a dataset from a natural-language description ("all YC W24 fintech startups") instead of assembling it by hand.
- Scrape and structure a page live at request time rather than from a stale index.
- Monitor competitors' prices, features, or pages on a schedule.
