# Floppydata Client API

> Use cloud browsers, Web Data, proxies, and account reporting from one API.

The Floppydata Client API is for teams that need browser automation, proxy, and Web Data workflows to be predictable from code, not stitched together by hand. Start with a safe balance check, then move into the exact job you need: launch a cloud browser, search the web, fetch a page, build a proxy connection, check usage, or list static proxies.
