SingleAPI – Convert the Internet into your own API

Hi! I created a universal data API that uses headless browsers and GPT to extract any data from the web in JSON format. I started this project because I needed some API to do data enrichment to get company data (headcount, investment rounds, etc.). Once I did the first version, I quickly realized that there can be many use cases for such a tool: data enrichment, web scraping, data validation, etc. Thanks!

In plain words

SingleAPI is a universal data extraction tool that converts web content into structured JSON format using headless browsers and GPT. It enables users to scrape data from any website for purposes like data enrichment, web scraping, and data validation. The tool was built to retrieve company information such as headcount and investment details, but its flexible architecture supports diverse data extraction needs beyond its original use case.
