Looking for a stable and not-too-expensive way to pull web data into my Claude Code apps. I tried Exa and SerpAPI, but the cost adds up fast. I’m starting to think the real lever is structuring the pipeline better, focusing on clean extraction (markdown/JSON), limiting to targeted URLs, and caching aggressively instead of hitting search endpoints every time. Claude Code seems to work much better when the input is already structured rather than raw HTML. Curious if anyone here built a setup like this that stays stable at scale without blowing up costs? Or any alternative? submitted by /u/Then_Worry283
