What each one is

Crawlbase. Crawlbase provides web crawling, scraping, and parsing APIs at scale.

Transloadit. Transloadit is the file infrastructure platform.

Where Crawlbase is ahead

Crawlbase passes limits / constraints documented, and Transloadit does not. That is understand, whether an agent can read the docs and work out how the API behaves before calling it.

Where Transloadit is ahead

Transloadit passes structured, predictable output, and Crawlbase does not. That is operate, whether an agent can run against it in production and recover when a call fails.

What neither does

Both fail structured api reference, openapi / spec quality, request examples provided, response examples provided, errors and status codes documented, no mandatory sales call, programmatic credential creation, machine-readable errors, retry behavior documented, idempotency support, rate-limit behavior predictable. If your agent needs any of those, you will be building it yourself either way.
