24 alternatives to A store that generates products from anything you type in search

The site hit #1 on HN about a year ago. Got enough traffic that I turned it into a proper API. What's there: - REST API — 35k products, manually filterable by category, free key, 60 req/min - CLI — npx anycrap random -c food - faker.js plugin — bundled, no API call, works offline - HuggingFace dataset — full 35k rows for ML/training https://anycrap.shop/developers

Anycrap.shop is a commerce platform that creates and generates products based on text search queries. Users type in any search term, and the store produces corresponding items derived from that input. The platform… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    The tool actually hit Product Hunt #1 back in February. Since then I’ve added a bunch more on top of the original version. Now you just describe the intent or goal for the leads you want, and it searches based on keywords and a bunch of other signals to surface the best ones for you. I also added a Reddit-powered content writer. Basically, you pick a topic or category, and it pulls the top posts from Reddit, analyzes what made them go viral, and helps you write content using the same patterns. Reddit is super underrated for content. If something blows up there, it almost always spreads to…

    Hey HN! We built Notte, a browser infrastructure and agents platform. Many of our users automate UI workflows or extract data from sites that don’t have APIs. In practice, we noticed that once an agent understands how a site works, parts of the task can often run without a browser by interacting with the same network requests the site uses. So we built Anything API: describe a browser task, and our agent explores the site, builds a function, tests it against your description, and deploys a callable REST endpoint. No infra to manage. How the build works: - Describe the task (best results come…

    Hello, My name is Yahia, I've been working on scraping products for a long time and maintain a couple of free sites in my spare time (E.g. knifegeek.io) What prompted this is i've rebuilt scraping infra at every company I've started and finally just made it a product. Pass a URL, get clean markdown, html, images, sitemap or pass a domain, get logos, colors, socials, industry data. Goal is to offer a better service than VC funded competitors at a fraction of the cost. Stealth is included and automatic at no additional cost (normally an upcharge by alternatives). Would love your honest thoughts.

    Agora API▲377

    Hi HN! I'm building Agora, an AI search engine for e-commerce that returns results in under 300ms. We've indexed 30M products and made them easy to purchase. Think of a decentralized Amazon. We've been working on an API that enables developers to embed our product data, search, purchasing, and order tracking functionality into their own app. We currently have 100k stores in the index and recrawl the entire dataset once every 24 hours. I'd love your feedback.

    Hi HN, I’m Enric. I built ButterflAI to help e-commerce teams keep product pages fresh without doing constant shoots or manual copy updates. What it does? - Upload 1 product photo (or connect a Shopify store). - Generates a small set of product visuals (clean + lifestyle-style) and a short product video. - Updates product listing content (title/description/metafields) to improve SEO and conversion. Why I built it? I kept seeing teams stuck between "expensive shoots" and "stale pages". I wanted a workflow that’s fast, consistent with brand guidelines, and usable for real stores (not…

    Hey HN, We just shipped a new AI-powered feature... BUT the "AI" piece is largely in the background. Instead of relying on a chatbot, we've integrated AI (with strict input & output guardrails) into a workflow to handle two specific tasks that would be difficult for traditional programming: 1. Identifying the most relevant base URL from HAR files, since it would be tedious to cover every edge case or scenario to omit analytics, tracking, and other network noise. 2. Generating synthetic data for API requests by passing the API context and faker-js functions to GPT-4. The steps are broken down…
