Anything API
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…

In plain words
Anything API creates custom API endpoints for websites that don't offer public APIs. Users describe what data or actions they need from any website, and the service generates a production-ready function that can be deployed serverlessly, scheduled with Cron, or called via API. It uses AI agents to build the custom integration, eliminating manual web scraping or workarounds for developers who need programmatic access to existing web services.

From the sources
Many websites don't have public APIs. Anything API fills that gap. Turn any browser work into a production-ready API. Describe the task, and our agents build a custom function that calls the site directly. Ship a custom API endpoint you can deploy serverless, schedule on Cron, or call via API. Tell Notte what you need. We ship the function endpoint.
Describe the task. We engineer the skill.

Notte Browser Agents2025 · notte.cc · ▲275Hey HN, We’ve been building browser agents for a while. In production, we kept converging on the same pattern: deterministic scripts for the happy path, agents only for edge cases. So we built Demonstrate Mode. The idea is simple: You perform your workflow once in a remote browser. Notte records the interactions and generates deterministic automation code. How it works: - Record clicks, inputs, navigations in a cloud browser - Compile them into deterministic code (no LLM at runtime) - Run and deploy on managed browser infrastructure Closest analog is Playwright codegen but: - Infrastructure…

Context.devJul 2026 · context.dev · ▲814Hello, 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.
