[APP] AnyAPI #21933

Description

@kev1n

Name of app / service

AnyAPI - https://getanyapi.com

AnyAPI is a gateway that puts several hundred scraping and data APIs behind one key, one normalized request and response shape, and USD pay-per-request pricing with no subscription. It currently publishes just over 360 APIs across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Reddit, LinkedIn, Google Search, Google Maps, Amazon, and generic web scraping.

Link to developer documentation

Auth is a static API key sent as the X-API-Key request header. There is no OAuth step and no scopes.

Suggested app definition:

  • App slug: anyapi
  • Auth type: keys
  • Auth field: api_key (string, secret) - "API key"
  • Test request: GET https://api.getanyapi.com/v1/balance with header X-API-Key: {{auth.api_key}}, which returns {"usd": <number>}

You can confirm the service without any credential, because catalog search is public:

curl -s 'https://api.getanyapi.com/catalog/search?q=instagram%20profile'
curl -s 'https://api.getanyapi.com/catalog/search?category=social'

And a key is self-serve, with no signup form and no card:

curl -s -X POST 'https://api.getanyapi.com/agent/signup' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{}'

That returns a free trial key with a small starting balance.

Is lack of support preventing you from moving forward, or do you have a workaround?

The workaround today is an HTTP request step per call, which means every workflow re-does the auth header and each user has to read the docs to learn one API's input schema by hand.

I have already opened PR #21898 with the components. @michelle0927 asked for this app request so the base integration can be put in place before that PR is reviewed and tested. I work on AnyAPI.

Are there specific actions or triggers you'd like to see for this app? Please let us know here or use the Action and Trigger issue templates to open requests for each!

The four actions in PR #21898, which follow the discovery loop the API is designed around rather than one component per API:

Action Request Purpose
Search APIs GET /catalog/search Find an API by describing what you need, or by scoping to a category or a platform. Returns each match with its slug, description and USD price.
Get API GET /v1/apis/{sku} Read one API's normalized input and output JSON Schema plus its pricing, so you know what to send.
Run API POST /v1/run/{sku} Execute it. Returns the normalized output, the number of result rows, and costUsd.
Get Balance GET /v1/balance Remaining USD in the wallet.

One action per API would mean hundreds of near-identical components that go stale whenever the catalog changes, so Get API and Run API take the API as a dynamic dropdown backed by catalog search instead.

No triggers proposed. Happy to add sources or change the shape to match your conventions.
