Quercle + xpander.ai: Powering AI Agents with Web Data
TL;DR
Quercle now integrates with xpander.ai to power AI agents with reliable web data. Build agents that monitor GitHub trends, research topics, and automate web-based workflows - all with clean, structured data from Quercle.
The Announcement
We're excited to announce Quercle's integration with xpander.ai's AI agents platform.
What is xpander.ai?
xpander.ai is a platform for building, testing, and deploying AI agents. It provides:
- AgentOS for Kubernetes - Hardened runtime managing containers, tasks, state, and observability
- Agent Builder Workbench - Low-code environment for assembling and testing agents
- Agent Connectivity Hub - SDKs, webhooks, and integrations with built-in guardrails
- One API - Unified API for invoking, configuring, and monitoring agents
Real-World Example: GitHub Trending Monitor
xpander.ai built an agent that monitors GitHub's trending page every morning. Here's why it needs to be an agent:
- Classification - Categorizing repos (AI Infra, AI Coding, Voice AI, etc.) for easier consumption
- Enrichment - Adding context like issues and open PRs for each repo
- Research - Finding press releases or announcements about trending repos
- Memory - Tracking seen repos to avoid duplicates across runs
The agent uses these tools:
- Quercle - Web fetch API to scrape GitHub's trending page (no official API exists)
- GitHub MCP - To enrich results with repo details
- Email tool - Daily delivery to inbox
- Memory tool - To track history and avoid repeats
All configured in xpander.ai's Agent Builder in under an hour.
Why This Integration Matters
The Problem
GitHub's trending page is a goldmine for discovering new projects, but:
- There's no official API for trending repos
- The page is dynamic and changes frequently
- Manual monitoring is tedious and easy to forget
The Solution
By combining xpander.ai's agent orchestration with Quercle's web fetch API:
- Quercle fetches the trending page and extracts structured data about repos
- xpander.ai orchestrates the workflow - scheduling, memory, multi-tool coordination
- The agent classifies and enriches each repo with additional context
- Results are delivered via email, Slack, or any integration
Building Your Own Agent
Here's how Quercle fits into an xpander.ai agent:
1. Web Fetch Tool
Use Quercle to fetch and analyze web pages:
{
"url": "https://github.com/trending",
"prompt": "Extract all trending repositories. For each, provide: name, description, language, stars today, and total stars."
}2. Search Tool
Use Quercle to find additional context:
{
"query": "LangChain vs CrewAI comparison 2025",
"allowed_domains": ["*.dev", "*.io", "medium.com"]
}3. Combine with xpander.ai
In xpander.ai's Agent Builder:
- Add Quercle as a tool (web fetch + search)
- Add GitHub MCP for repo enrichment
- Add email/Slack for notifications
- Enable memory to track seen repos
- Schedule daily execution
Use Cases
With Quercle + xpander.ai, you can build agents for:
- Tech Research - Monitor trends, track competitors, summarize news
- Market Intelligence - Track pricing changes, new product launches
- Content Curation - Aggregate and classify content from multiple sources
- Compliance Monitoring - Track regulatory updates and changes
- Lead Generation - Monitor job postings, company news, funding announcements
Get Started
- Get a Quercle API key at quercle.dev
- Sign up for xpander.ai at xpander.ai
