> Web scraping layers for automation.

ParseBird builds focused Apify Actors that handle the data layer so developers can focus on building. We fetch the data. You build the thing.

## What We Do

- [How Agents Pay for Things with Machine Payments Protocol](https://parsebird.com/essay/how-agents-pay-for-things-with-mpp): The Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) gives AI agents a native way to pay for services over HTTP. Co-authored by Stripe and Tempo, MPP uses the long-dormant HTTP 402 status code to let machines negotiate, pay, and receive receipts in a single request cycle — no checkout flows, no billing accounts, no human in the loop.

Here's what changes when your scraper's consumer is a language model instead of a person.
