What Tabstack is
Section titled “What Tabstack is”Tabstack is a managed web API for people and teams running their own models. Ask a question, pass a URL and schema, or describe a public web task. Tabstack handles the web workflow inside the call and returns a cited answer, clean text, matching JSON, or the completed result.
Search is access to the web. Tabstack handles the work that comes after search: choosing sources, fetching pages, recovering readable content, identifying gaps, searching again, reconciling disagreement, and attaching citations. That workflow runs inside the call instead of inside your model.
Ask for the output you need
Section titled “Ask for the output you need”| You send | You get back | Endpoint |
|---|---|---|
| A question | A cited answer from live sources | /research |
| A URL | Clean text | /extract/markdown |
| A URL and a JSON schema | Matching JSON | /extract/json |
| A URL and instructions | Matching JSON | /generate/json |
| A public website task | The completed task | /automate |
Which call should I make first
Section titled “Which call should I make first”/research. It is the call that shows the difference between search results and a finished result: you send a question and get back an answer with the sources it cited. The Quickstart takes you from API key to that response.
From there, Extract is the call you will make most often in a pipeline, and Automate handles the cases where reading a page is not enough.

Install for your stack
The Python SDK, a CLI for shell and agent workflows, the Hermes plugin, and the TypeScript SDK.
Write a schema
Schema design is what decides whether matching JSON matches what you actually wanted.
