Instantly Turn Any Webpage into an API
InstantAPI.ai helps developers convert webpages into APIs for data extraction and automation, using ScrapingBee for HTML fetching and OpenAI for structuring, with customizable parameters and built-in error handling.
InstantAPI.ai is a tool designed to assist developers in converting any webpage into a functional API, particularly useful for extracting data or automating interactions with websites lacking their own APIs. The process begins with HTML fetching using ScrapingBee, which captures the fully rendered HTML content, including dynamic elements. Following this, the tool cleans the HTML to eliminate unnecessary components, enhancing both speed and cost efficiency. It then utilizes the OpenAI API to structure the cleaned data into a coherent API response, allowing users to define parameters such as API method names and response formats. InstantAPI.ai also features built-in error handling for reliability and is complemented by a no-code solution that integrates with Google Sheets, set to launch soon. The development focused on optimizing processing speed and reducing costs through improved HTML cleaning techniques. A demo video showcasing the tool's capabilities has been created, and feedback from the community is welcomed to enhance its accuracy and functionality.

3 commentsI was looking at adding creating a crm from any website/page.
I'm interested in discussing steps 1 - 3. Using scrappingbee is expensive. I've brought down the price of a crm creation through AI to about 1 1/2 cents (+3 cents if you want a custom cover image). Have you looked at running something locally. I'm using laravel and was considering using Dusk to retrieve the contents.
What are you using for cleaning? Regex removals of tags?
OpenAI API for Structuring Data is new. What are your experiences? How does pricing compare to gpt3.5?
Any plans on open sourcing any part of your stack. What does your sass look like?
