AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemSlickShip It

Browser-driven API generation beats manual scrapers, but Apify, Cheerio, and Puppeteer already solve this.

Strengths
  • •Live demo APIs (YouTube search, Amazon, LinkedIn) prove real-world viability and bot protection handling.
  • •Recording UX (showing browser interaction → API) is more intuitive than code-first scraping frameworks.
  • •Sub-second responses and always-up-to-date claims suggest intelligent caching or continuous re-runs.
Weaknesses
  • •Apify, Selenium Grid, and Puppeteer-as-a-service already dominate this space with mature pricing models.
  • •No visible pricing or SLA—'early access' gate limits assessment of whether this justifies paid adoption over open-source alternatives.
Target Audience

Data engineers, web scraping users, automation builders, non-developers wanting APIs

Post Description

Hey HN, I built this because I was tired of writing custom scrapers for every website. Browse2API records your browser interactions and turns them into production-ready API endpoints. You can try the live demo APIs on the page - no signup needed. Looking for early users who want custom APIs built for their use case. I'd love any feedback or suggestions on the product, the demo APIs, or use cases you'd want supported.

Happy to answer questions!

SkillForge – Turn Screen Recordings into Agent-Ready Skills

SkillForge turns the old 'show, don't tell' trick into code: record a task, and their AI teases clicks, keystrokes and navigation out of pixels into a stepwise skill file you can edit and export. The ability to trim video, rewrite steps via AI, and output a SKILL.md for agent frameworks is a practical, opinionated workflow that could shortcut lots of brittle RPA scripting — my main questions are reliability across dynamic UIs and privacy/recording controls, but the product direction is smart and tangible.
