Anakin started in 2021 as a Y Combinator company (S21) with one mission: give enterprises the competitive intelligence they need, no matter how hard the data is to get.
That meant scraping websites that actively fight back. E-commerce giants with aggressive bot detection. Ride-hailing platforms with rotating fingerprint checks. Quick commerce apps that change their anti-scraping systems weekly. We built the infrastructure to handle all of it — and we've been running it at scale ever since.
Today, our scraping engine powers competitive intelligence for 50+ billion-dollar companies across 100+ countries. We've extracted over 1 trillion data points. We've solved anti-bot problems that most scraping tools don't even know exist.
Anakin.io is that engine, available as an API. Every developer now has access to the same enterprise-grade scraping infrastructure that the world's largest companies depend on. Same proxy network. Same anti-bot bypass. Same accuracy. Same speed.
We built this because we were tired of watching developers struggle with the same problems we solved years ago. Proxy rotation. CAPTCHA solving. JavaScript rendering. Session management. Rate limit handling. We've already built all of it. You shouldn't have to.
Accuracy is non-negotiable. Speed is a feature. Developers deserve tools that work on the first try.
