WrapAPI

In plain words

WrapAPI lets developers create APIs from any existing website without building from scratch. Users can capture web requests through a Chrome extension, and the tool automatically converts changing elements into customizable parameters. It serves companies that need to integrate third-party website data into their workflows, such as extracting commission data or automating shipping label processes. The platform handles both URL and request body variables, making API creation accessible to non-backend developers.

Build an API on top of any existing website or find an API for a site that you need

A advertising company needed to get their publishers' annual CJ commissions as a part of onboarding. WrapAPI helped them create a single API call that does it all. Using WrapAPI, a ticket broker automated the process of printing shipping labels for tickets that are ready to ship. Finding and saving the requests that matter for your API is a piece of cake with WrapAPI's Chrome extension . WrapAPI automatically figures out which parts of the URL or request body changes in between requests, and makes them parameters. Visually define API outputs by clicking on the relevant elements, writing regular expressions, and more. Never build the same thing twice. Share and build on top of other WrapAPI…from wrapapi.com

  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…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
