WrapAPI v2 – Build APIs, scrapers, bots on any website
Build an API on top of any existing website or find an API for a site that you need
WrapAPI v2 – Build APIs, scrapers, bots on any website launched on April 21, 2017 with 166 votes, #199 of 3,007 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.
In plain words
WrapAPI v2 allows developers to build APIs on top of existing websites without coding. Users can create API endpoints by installing a Chrome extension, clicking elements on web pages to define outputs, and letting the tool automatically identify parameters. It's designed for teams needing to automate data extraction, web scraping, or integrate third-party websites into their workflows through simple API calls.

From the sources
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

Anything APIMar 2026 · anything.notte.cc · ▲656Hey 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…

Talanoa▲340Hi 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…
