Wire by Anakin.io
Wire by Anakin.io is an API layer for the web that allows users to turn any website workflow into an API. It provides a thin, opinionated REST layer that enables users to access structured endpoints instead of relying on browser clicks, screenshots, and brittle selectors. With Wire, users can browse a catalog of over 966 sites, each with a maintained set of structured actions, and run these actions with a single API call. The API handles auth, proxies, hydration, parsing, retries, and more, making it a convenient and efficient solution for web scraping and automation. Wire is designed for production agents and is audited for the boardroom, with features such as SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, and GDPR compliance.
