AnyAPI is a unified API platform that provides a single key and wallet to access data from over 1,200 websites — including social media, e-commerce, and search engines — with pay-per-request billing that replaces monthly subscriptions.
What is AnyAPI?
AnyAPI is a gateway that normalizes scraping and API access across 1,200+ sites (Reddit, TikTok, Amazon, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Search, and more) behind one authentication key and one billing wallet. It takes a request specifying a platform and an endpoint (e.g., tiktok.profile with a handle) and returns a standardized JSON response. The platform is built and maintained by the AnyAPI team, with no subscription requirement.
Key Features
- Unified catalog of 1,200+ APIs — Access endpoints for Reddit (6), TikTok (21), X/Twitter (10), Instagram (22), Amazon (5), LinkedIn (22), YouTube (16), Google (8), and many more in a single interface. Browse the full catalog →
- Pay-per-request pricing — No monthly plans; top up one wallet with dollars and pay only for the calls you make (e.g., Reddit $0.0012, TikTok $0.0026, LinkedIn $0.0030 per request). Idle months cost $0.00.
- Normalized schema across platforms — Every API returns the same data shape for equivalent endpoints, so switching from one provider to another requires no code changes.
- Automatic fallback routing — If a provider returns an error or goes down, AnyAPI automatically reroutes to the next available provider with the same schema and response format.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) support — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP clients can connect as a server via
https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp with a Bearer token, making every API a typed tool for agents.
- Provider comparison & pinning — Every provider is ranked by price, latency, and uptime; you can pin your preferred provider and fallback order.
- Free trial key for agents — Agents can self-onboard via CLI (
npx anyapi-cli@latest init) and receive a ~$0.15 trial key that expires in 7 days, no account or credit card required.
Who is it for?
- Developers building data pipelines — Use a single API key to pull social media posts, product listings, reviews, or search results without managing multiple integrations or scraper tooling.
- Lead generation and sales teams — Search Reddit, X, and other forums for prospects describing a problem, then pull full thread data to qualify leads in real time.
- AI agent developers — Point any MCP-compatible agent (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) at AnyAPI and the agent can discover and call any endpoint as a typed tool, billing the same USD wallet per request.
- SEO and brand monitoring specialists — Track keyword volumes, SERP rankings, and brand mentions across Google, YouTube, and social platforms with one normalized query.
What can you do with AnyAPI?
- Lead generation from social threads: Search Reddit and X for users asking about a specific need (e.g., "scraping API that bills per call"), then retrieve the full thread and post metadata to qualify and contact them.
- Brand monitoring across platforms: Query multiple social sites (Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, X) for mentions of your brand or product; sentiment data is included in the response to prioritize negative mentions.
- SEO keyword research: Pull search volume and difficulty from Google Search endpoints, then check which domains currently rank for those keywords.
- AI agent data retrieval mid-task: An agent can call
run_api("google.search"), run_api("linkedin.profile"), and run_api("tiktok.profile") in a single workflow, paying $0.0050 + $0.0030 + $0.0026 = $0.0106 for three data points.
