What is Anything API
Some of the internet offers a nice API thatWho is this for
Anyone who badly needs an API that doesn’t exist, and don’t want to burn an afternoon and $100 in tokens building one, plus the painful maintenance to keep prod alive.How does it works
Anything API turns a website into a strongly typed endpoint you call over plain HTTPS. Build once, in the app or over MCP, then call it from your code. Endpoints do more than read: they scrape (search, list, fetch structured data) and they act (login, submit forms, run multi-step flows), so anything you could do in a browser can become an API.Relationship to Notte
We host and run everything on Notte. The APIs are deployed as a Notte Function, and anything browser-related runs in a Notte Browser sessions with global residential proxies and captcha solving capabilities when we need those to automate the site.Calling an API
Every API endpoint you build gets onefunction_id you invoke with a Notte API key:
result matching the schema on the API’s page. Python and TypeScript SDKs do the same thing in one call. Do not hand-copy the snippet above: every API page renders it with your real id, parameters, and defaults already filled in. See Calling an API.
Building an API
Go to the app and prompt what you need. The agent captures your intent, settles the spec signature (what goes in, what comes out), explores the site, reverse engineers how it actually serves its data, and deploys an endpoint tailored to your use case. It is a conversation, so you shape the API as it goes: rename a parameter, add a field, change a type. Expect 2 to 10 minutes. You can also build via the API or MCP. See Building an API.Self-healing APIs
Every API hosted on Anything API self-heals. A failed invocation wakes an agent to bugfix the API, re-maps the site and ships a new version in minutes, so your next call works. We’re working on proactive self-healing as well (fixes before you call the API). TBD.Authenticated sites
Anything API also works with Authenticated websites using Notte Profiles. Simply put, profiles let you authenticate once in a website manually on Notte, and save your cookies. That way, any further run will be pre-authenticated. APIs to authenticated website will have a Notte Profile ID as one of the input variables.MCP for AI Agents
Anything API is agent-first. The entire Anything API app is accessible via an MCP server exposing 5 simple tools. This allows anyone building agentic stuff to supercharge their product with immediate access to the Internet API with a single MCP checkin.
