How to query a website through a shared spec in minutes with API Anything

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

Short answer: git clone https://github.com/goodnight000/api-anything.git && cd api-anything; then npm ci && npm install -g "$(npm pack --silent)"; api-anything pull goodreads. All steps.

Authorization notice. API Anything is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA developer or agent builder who needs data from a site like Goodreads and does not want to write a scraper or drive a browser.

The problemBrowser-driven agents are slow and costly on sites they must navigate page by page.

The outcomeThe site's data comes back as JSON from one command over plain HTTP, with tier 1 shown in the result.

What you need first

  • 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

Steps

  1. git clone https://github.com/goodnight000/api-anything.git && cd api-anything
  2. npm ci && npm install -g "$(npm pack --silent)"
  3. api-anything pull goodreads
  4. api-anything call goodreads searchBooks q=piranesi

Prompt for your agent

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.

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.
