Grass has officially launched its Contents API, a platform that transforms public web pages into text, HTML, or Markdown for AI models. The system bypasses data-center blocks by routing requests through a distributed pool of residential internet connections.
Why it matters
The company has shifted its focus to providing live, inference-time data for AI agents. This strategy addresses the difficulty traditional data infrastructures face when attempting to scrape websites that actively block data-center traffic.
The Contents API achieved a 98% retrieval success rate during hard-domain testing. This performance represents a 27-point success gap compared to the 71% retrieval rate recorded for the closest competitor.
The players
Grass
Grass is a technology company that operates a decentralized network on the Solana blockchain to facilitate web data retrieval for artificial intelligence.

The Tech Race
The launch of the Contents API follows the pattern of using residential proxy networks to overcome restrictive data-center traffic blocking in AI training. This advancement highlights the ongoing competition to provide AI agents with high-fidelity, real-time data retrieval capabilities.
Users and developers can expect improved access to real-time, clean data for AI models without the common errors associated with traditional scraping. This capability allows for more reliable performance in AI-driven tools that require constant updates from the public web.
The takeaway
As AI agents become more prevalent, the ability to access and format live web data reliably will remain a critical bottleneck for developers. Businesses shifting their infrastructure to support inference-time data processing are likely to see significant growth in training-data revenue.
