 "title": "Query a website through a shared spec in minutes",
 "page_title": "How to query a website through a shared spec in minutes with API Anything",
 "summary": "Pull a community-published spec and call a site's operations as JSON instead of browsing it.",
 "who": "A developer or agent builder who needs data from a site like Goodreads and does not want to write a scraper or drive a browser.",
 "problem": "Browser-driven agents are slow and costly on sites they must navigate page by page.",
 "outcome": "The site's data comes back as JSON from one command over plain HTTP, with tier 1 shown in the result.",
 "steps": [
  "`git clone https://github.com/goodnight000/api-anything.git && cd api-anything`",
  "`npm ci && npm install -g \"$(npm pack --silent)\"`",
  "`api-anything pull goodreads`",
  "`api-anything call goodreads searchBooks q=piranesi`"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the api-anything repo at github.com/goodnight000/api-anything, run `api-anything pull <site>` and then `api-anything call <site> <operation> q=<query>` for a query you choose. Expected output is one JSON object with ok set to true and a data array. Verify that ok is true and that tier is 1.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the package is not on npm yet, so you must install from a local clone, and it covers only the operations that were taught, not whole sites.",

 "requirements": [
  "Node 22.13 or newer",
  "git, to clone the repository",
  "Google Chrome, or another Chromium browser set with API_ANYTHING_BROWSER, for creating operations",
  "A coding agent such as Claude Code or Codex, if you want the agent to call operations over MCP",
  "The GitHub CLI, only if you plan to publish a spec"
