Anakin

One API to get clean data from any website for your AI agents at scale

Visit Anakin

Anakin is a web scraping and web data API platform that lets AI agents and workflows search, scrape, crawl, and run pre-built actions across websites, returning structured JSON instead of raw HTML. It addresses the difficulty of extracting data from sites without public APIs or those protected by anti-bot measures, handling proxies, JavaScript rendering, and session management.

The platform offers a unified API covering scraping, crawling, web search, agentic research with citations, URL mapping, website monitoring, and managed browser sessions for authenticated access. Its Wire module provides pre-built structured endpoints across hundreds of sites, while MCP integration connects the toolset to agents such as Claude and Cursor. SDKs are available across multiple languages, and integrations include Zapier, Make, n8n, Dify, LangChain, and others.

Anakin is aimed at developers and teams building AI agents, RAG pipelines, lead enrichment, price monitoring, and market research workflows. It offers a keyless tier with free monthly credits for read-only operations, with an API key required for write actions and additional capabilities. Team accounts with shared plans, seats, and roles are available, alongside enterprise offerings.
