Browser automation is slow and flaky

  • Every step requires a screenshot or token-heavy DOM read before the agent can decide what to do next.

  • One modal, CAPTCHA, or blocked request can end the run.

  • Websites change, and agents can take different steps each time. A successful run doesn’t guarantee the next one.

APIs are faster and use fewer tokens

  • Your agent requests data directly, without clicking, scrolling, or waiting for pages to load.

  • Your agent uses fewer tokens because it doesn’t have to interpret screenshots or full-page content.

  • Named fields let your agent use the results directly to compare prices, filter listings, or summarize posts.

Reliable enough to build on

APIs built to withstand layout changes

agent-data builds endpoints from the network requests a website uses to load its own data. Those endpoints don’t depend on the page’s HTML, so layout changes don’t break your integration.

Automatic checks and repairs

agent-data tests every endpoint against the live site on a schedule. A failed check automatically queues the endpoint for repair.

CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and proxies handled

agent-data handles CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and proxies. You can increase how often your app or agent calls an API without managing anti-bot infrastructure yourself.

Structured JSON with a typed schema

Responses are structured JSON by default and follow a typed schema. Documented field names and types give your app or agent a consistent structure to build around.

What if the API I want isn't in the catalog?

Frequently asked questions

What if I can’t find an API for the website I need?

Give agent-data the website URL and describe the data you want. It builds and deploys the API, creates the docs, and emails you when it’s ready. Building an API is free, subject to your account’s build quotas.

What if an API exists but doesn’t have the data I need?

Ask agent-data to extend it with the endpoint, field, or filter you’re missing. Extensions are free within your account’s build quotas and preserve existing endpoints.

What happens when the website changes?

agent-data continuously probes every API with automated health checks. When a site changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified.

Does it work with sites that require a login?

Access to sites that require logins or credentials is currently in beta. Email founders@agent-data.dev for more information.
