4 use cases

  • Query a website through a shared spec in minutes

    Pull a community-published spec and call a site's operations as JSON instead of browsing it.

    View 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.

  • Teach a new site operation from its page request

    Record a site's page request for two example inputs and save it as a callable operation.

    View prompt
    Using the api-anything repo at github.com/goodnight000/api-anything, add an operation for <site> from the page URL <trigger URL with {placeholder}> using two example inputs, then call it with a new input. Expected output is an ok:true JSON result with data for the new input. Verify that the result uses a value that was not one of the two examples.

  • Let an agent map a site's operations from your goal

    Describe what you need from a site and let the skill propose, scout and build the operations.

    View prompt
    Using the api-anything repo at github.com/goodnight000/api-anything and its skill, map the operations needed to answer <goal> from <site>. Expected output is a list of approved operations, each with a working call. Verify that each operation is tested with an input that was not used as an example.

  • Publish a learned site spec after a privacy preview

    Preview every file, host and possible personal value, then open a pull request to share a spec.

    View prompt
    Using the api-anything repo at github.com/goodnight000/api-anything, preview the publish of <spec name> with `api-anything publish <spec name>` and report every file, host and possible personal value listed. Expected output is the preview only, with nothing sent. Verify that no pull request is opened until the user confirms and adds --yes.

  3. git clone https://github.com/goodnight000/api-anything.git && cd api-anything
  4. npm ci && npm install -g "$(npm pack --silent)"
  5. api-anything pull goodreads
