About Anakin
Anakin is a web scraping and web data API built for AI agents and automation. From one API key it offers page scraping, crawling, site mapping, search, research and browser sessions, plus Wire, a catalogue of prebuilt structured actions for more than 940 websites that do not expose an API of their own, such as searching Amazon products, reading Reddit threads or posting to social accounts. Every call returns structured JSON rather than raw HTML.
The product is aimed at developers building agents and data pipelines that need to read from and act on the web at scale. Anakin handles proxies, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript rendering, session management and rate limits, and a URL scraper can extract JSON into a schema the user defines. Read only scrapes and Wire actions can be run without an API key through a keyless tier, and a key is added only for write actions and account connected runs. An MCP server exposes the full surface to Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Zed and other MCP clients, and recent additions include webhooks, scheduled website monitoring and an AI visibility report. Anakin Enterprise also runs managed pipelines for price monitoring, product matching and availability tracking.
Pricing is credit based, and only successful requests are charged: a page scrape is 1 credit, a Wire action 2 and a search 3. Starter is free with 300 credits. Pro is $19 per month, or $12 per month billed $144 a year, for 5,000 credits. Scale is $100 per month, or $67 billed $804 a year, for 100,000 credits. Business is $500 per month, or $335 billed $4,020 a year, for 700,000 credits. Top ups start at $10, and a plan builder covers monthly commitments from $100 to $900. Enterprise is custom.
