Wire: Managed APIs

The API layer for the entire web.

Most websites don't have APIs. Wire gives AI agents and automation a direct line in: structured endpoints instead of browser clicks, screenshots, and brittle selectors.

The problem

Agents shouldn't be driving browsers.

Every time an agent navigates a UI to extract data, it burns tokens on a problem that shouldn't exist. Wire eliminates that loop entirely.

Without Wire

  • Launch a headless browser ($$$)
  • Wait for JavaScript to hydrate
  • Click, scroll, wait for lazy content
  • Download megabytes of HTML
  • Parse with brittle CSS selectors
  • Manage auth sessions manually
  • Patch scrapers when layouts change
  • Pay per megabyte of proxy egress
W

With Wire

  • Call a clean REST endpoint
  • Get structured JSON in under 200ms
  • Auth handled transparently
  • Typed schema: consistent every time
  • Never breaks: maintained by us
  • Zero proxy spend, zero maintenance
  • Works for any site: public or private
  • One API key, 100+ managed endpoints

How it works

One call. Structured data back.

01

Browse the catalog

Search available services by name or category. Each listing shows available actions, parameters, and per-call pricing.

02

Call the endpoint

Pass your action ID and parameters. Wire routes the request, handles authentication, and executes it.

03

Get structured data

Clean JSON in under 200ms. No parsing, no cleaning, no selector maintenance. Now or ever.

Built for agents

Replace the entire browser loop.

Every workflow that navigates a UI burns tokens on visual reasoning: layout, buttons, selectors. Wire eliminates that overhead.

  • No screenshots, no clicking, no waiting
  • Structured endpoints instead of DOM traversal
  • Token spend drops to near zero for data extraction
  • Reliable: no flakiness from site changes
Agent without Wire
await page.goto("https://amazon.com/dp/B0...")
await page.waitForSelector(".a-price")
// wait for JS hydration...
const price = await page.$eval(
  ".a-price .a-offscreen",
  el => el.textContent
)
// hope the selector didn't change 🤞
Agent with Wire
const { price } = await fetch(
  "https://api.anakin.io/v1/holocron/task",
  {
    method: "POST",
    body: JSON.stringify({
      action_id: "amazon.product_price",
      params: { asin: "B0..." }
    })
  }
).then(r => r.json())

Quick start

Running in minutes.

Grab your API key, browse the catalog, and start calling services. No SDKs to install, no auth to configure.

1
Sign up and get your API key
2
Browse the catalog or request a new service
3
Call any endpoint with a single HTTP request
import requests

API_KEY = "your_api_key"
BASE = "https://api.anakin.io/v1/holocron"

# Discover available actions for a service
actions = requests.get(
    f"{BASE}/catalog/google_trends",
    headers={"X-API-Key": API_KEY},
).json()

# Execute an action
result = requests.post(
    f"{BASE}/task",
    headers={"X-API-Key": API_KEY},
    json={
        "action_id": "google_trends.search",
        "params": {"keyword": "artificial intelligence"},
    },
).json()

print(result["data"])
Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.Get API key
