    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.

    tl;dr we at Escape (YC W23), we scanned 5651+ public APIs on the internet with our in house feedback driven API exploration tech, and ranked them using security, performance, reliability, and design criteria. The results are public on https://apirank.dev. You can request that we index your own API to the list for free and see how it compares to others. Why we did that? During a YC meetup I spoke with a fellow founder that told me how hard it was to pick the right external APIs to use within your own projects. I realized that most of what we build relies on public APIs from external…

    x402▲119

    Hi HN – excited to announce x402, initially developed by Coinbase (YC 12) x402 lets any HTTP API charge per request without issuing API keys or storing credit cards. Buyers (humans or AI agents) keep funds in their own wallet and dynamically discover compatible endpoints, call them as usual, and automatically pay a microtransaction in USDC or other tokens to settle. 90 second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-L2AfLhJg Problem: Every time we want to use a new API we have to: find the service online create a developer account, copy a secret key into env vars, pre-fund or…

    I'm part of the team that build Sokosumi, a marketplace where you can hire and deploy AI agents for specific tasks (research, design, sentiment analysis, etc.). Instead of one big chatbot, they’re positioning it as a directory of specialized “freelancer” agents, with a blockchain-based backend for payments and identity. Developers can also list their own agents and monetize them. Curious what people here think about this model: Will specialization make agent marketplaces more useful than general-purpose LLM tools? How viable is blockchain as the backbone for an agent economy? What pitfalls…

    Hey HN! After lots of dogfooding, we are now releasing Algora.io to help developers share bounties & easily meet new collaborators. The problem: early-stage founders always have more work than people, tight budgets and no time. Hiring full-time engineers is often not an option, yet most founders would welcome contributions from new collaborators. Meanwhile, most developers welcome flexible work. However, today, all of this is hard. Our solution: we built a Git GUI where you can pay developers and start collaborating with new ones, in just a few clicks. On Algora you can share, reward and…

    We built API Radar to track exposed API keys from OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, and other major providers—in real time—from public GitHub repositories. Why? Leaked AI keys are everywhere. They power bots, cost companies thousands, and even expose user data. But no one had a clean dashboard to see the leaks as they happen — until now. What you’ll find: Full redacted + raw API key leaks Real-time feed of exposed repos Leaderboards by author, repo, and provider Filtering by provider (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.) Timeline of key exposure trends Built for security researchers, devs, and AI companies…
