AnyAPI is an aggregated data API platform whose goal is to unify multiple scraping and data APIs under a single key. Official materials state that it provides 412 scraping and data APIs, covering categories such as social, search, maps, and information enrichment; behind the same interface there are multiple providers, priced per request in US dollars, and charged through a prepaid USD wallet, with no subscription required and no credit card needed to get started. Officially, it says there are about 150 free requests.
In terms of main capabilities, AnyAPI provides a unified endpoint for each task, selects providers by ranking behind the scenes, and unifies output into the same data schema. When the preferred provider fails, the call is automatically retried by the next provider, with no additional handling logic required from the caller. Officially, it also provides a provider review mechanism: each provider is tested against real inputs before being listed, then measured on a per-request basis, and once it fails it is removed from rotation.
In terms of usage, developers can integrate through REST, typed SDKs, an MCP server, n8n, and a CLI. Official examples include the MCP address api.getanyapi.com/mcp, as well as the CLI installation command npx -y anyapi-cli@latest init, and it provides commands such as anyapi search and anyapi run. AI agents and MCP clients can also connect, and all entry points use the same catalog and the same prices denominated in US dollars.
Use cases include developers and teams that need to pay per request for web scraping or data query capabilities, want to access multiple data sources with one key, want automatic switching when a provider fails, and need a unified data schema to reduce adaptation work. An official example shows that a task can be split into multiple calls, such as finding a company's CEO, title and company, email address, and deliverability verification, with the four steps totaling $0.0532.
In terms of limitations and caveats, the official statement says that over the 86 days ending 2026-09-10, the 5 busiest endpoints served 96,213 calls in total, the first provider returned 92.2% on its own, and AnyAPI returned 99.6% overall, of which 7,115 were automatically filled in by other providers; filled-in calls are billed at the filling provider's price, increasing the overall bill by 4.1%. It also mentions that its pricing comparison targets are the public prices of ScrapingBee Freelance, Firecrawl Hobby, and ScraperAPI Hobby, but the specific comparison is limited to what is in the materialsstated. Regarding details such as refunds, balance expiration, key spending limits, and account bans, although the materials list common questions, they do not provide specific answers and no clear explanation is currently available.
