Website APIs

Website APIs for AI agents.

An AI agent that needs data from a specific website should not have to scrape HTML or drive a headless browser. A website API is a stable, schema-defined endpoint for a specific site that returns structured records instead of a page to parse.

Everfetch publishes over 1,900 of them in one catalog: government portals, retail and grocery sites, social platforms, and reference data.

The problem

Why agents break on scraping.

Brittle selectors

CSS selectors and DOM paths break the moment a site ships a redesign, and nobody tells your agent.

Layout changes

The same data moves to a different part of the page, or into a client-rendered widget a raw fetch never sees.

Anti-bot walls

Bot detection blocks the request entirely, and the agent gets an empty page instead of an error it can act on.

Token-expensive raw output

Raw HTML or full-page markdown burns tokens on layout and chrome the agent has to read past to find the data.

Nondeterministic output

Model-extracted JSON from a page can vary call to call, which is a poor foundation for a workflow that runs unattended.

Typed records, by contrast

A website API returns the same field names and types every time, so your agent's downstream code doesn't have to guess.

How it works

One shape, every site.

Open schema registry

Schemas describe the data surface behind a site, community-contributed and Everfetch-maintained, browsable at /schemas.

Hosted execution

Everfetch runs the call behind the endpoint. You send a site and an intent, you get structured JSON back, no infrastructure to run yourself.

Health monitoring

Availability and verification signals are published per endpoint. Monitoring coverage is still expanding across the catalog.

When to use what

Three approaches to web data, honestly compared.

None of these replace the others across the board. Here is where each one actually fits.

Crawl to markdown

Crawl-to-markdown tools

Turn an arbitrary live page into markdown, HTML, or model-extracted JSON at request time. Best when you don't know the page ahead of time and need broad reading coverage.

Good for reading arbitrary pages you haven't seen before.

Actor platforms

Actor and browser automation platforms

Run or build scrapers (actors) with managed compute, proxies, and scheduling. Best when your workflow needs custom automation, not just a read.

Good for custom crawls, logins, and multi-step browser automation.

Website APIs

Website APIs (what Everfetch hosts)

A stable, schema-defined endpoint for a specific site that returns structured records. Each catalog entry shows the availability and verification signals published for that endpoint.

Good when your agent needs reliable structured records from known sites, again and again.
