## What it does

Riveter turns the web into structured data. Its API and agents search, browse, extract and enrich live web information, including pages, PDFs and images, then return typed datasets or reusable data APIs. The [YC profile](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/riveter) says customers such as Snapchat and OpenAI use Riveter to enrich datasets; the launch describes a prompt-to-list workflow without building and maintaining scrapers manually.

The fit is a data, growth, risk or research team that needs current web evidence at scale. Riveter is more useful than a static data vendor when the target list or field definitions change frequently, but it also puts source quality, terms and repeatability under the microscope.

## Why I’d look closer

The developer surface is concrete. Riveter’s docs describe datasets, enrichments, runs, webhooks, row caps, an MCP server and direct API access. The platform can build an endpoint from a natural-language description, return typed JSON and repair an endpoint when a source site
