plaidify
Every AI agent hits the same wall: the world's most valuable data is locked behind login forms. Bank balances, utility bills, insurance policies, academic transcripts — none of them have APIs. Plaid covers banks for $500+/mo. Everything else? You write fragile Selenium scripts. Plaidify is open-source infrastructure that turns any login-protected website into a REST API. You drop a JSON "blueprint" into the connectors folder — CSS selectors for username, password, submit, and what to extract — and you get a structured JSON endpoint. No scraper code to write. It's designed specifically…

What it does
AI agents can write code, manage calendars, and summarize documents. But ask one to check your electricity bill or read an insurance policy — it hits a login wall and gives up. Plaidify is open-source infrastructure that gives any agent or app a REST API to log into any website, handle MFA, and return structured data. One JSON blueprint per site. One API call. No scrapers. No vendor lock-in. No monthly fees. Self-hosted, MIT licensed, free forever. Utilities, portals, insurance — anything.
The open-source gateway to authenticated web data — connect to any user-authorized site via REST API, hosted link, or MCP, with MFA handling under a read-only posture. - meetpandya27/plaidify

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.
RayApr 2026 · rayfinance.app · ▲293I've been using this daily for 4 months and figured others might find it useful. This is my first open source project so would love any feedback. Ray connects to your bank via Plaid, stores everything in an encrypted local SQLite database, and lets you ask questions about your finances in natural language. No cloud, no account, your data is stored on your machine. Before anything reaches the LLM, all PII is stripped — your name, companies, transaction details are redacted and replaced with tokens, then rehydrated locally in the response. The AI never sees who you are.
