Every modern web app exposes two interfaces: a visual one for humans and a structured API that the frontend itself depends on. Browser agents automate the slow, visual interface, costing tokens on every interaction. We index the structured API layer instead. Because LLMs reason far more effectively over code and sequential data than screenshots or HTML trees, our approach is significantly faster, cheaper, and more reliable. We are building a database of the world’s web APIs to allow for efficient and reliable data extraction from dynamic websites. If you want to leverage our index or learn more about our autonomous reverse engineering process, check out the open source repo: https://github.com/VectorlyApp/bluebox Quick tutorial: https://youtu.be/7OXADG7AIug Looking forward to your feedback!

When we set out to build AI tools for healthcare, we were forced to integrate with tons of legacy software lacking available APIs. We tried Computer Use Agents (CUAs). Here is what we found: - Overhyped - Too slow - Too expensive - Contemplate their existence when confronting date pickers This is why we build Vectorly! A new way to access data hiding behind UI interactions and closed APIs. Our solution is simple: Record your interaction with any website. Tell our AI agent what data/API you need. Reuse the automation as an API endpoint or MCP tool Our approach has no secrets, we open source our reverse engineering method: https://github.com/VectorlyApp/web-hacker Check out our demo: https://youtu.be/xX4ycRAU5dA We made it very easy to reverse engineer web apps! Give it a go: https://console.vectorly.app We are excited for you to try out Ve

Hi HN! I’m Ray; Alex, Dima, and I built an open-source tool that turns web interactions into deterministic, repeatable flows you can invoke again via API or MCP: https://github.com/VectorlyApp/web-hacker Why we built it: many web sites/apps don’t provide open APIs, and pure GUI automation is fragile. Our tool captures interactions, converts them into reliable, replayable flows, and exposes them programmatically so your integrations don’t depend on brittle screen-scraping scripts. Quick demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFVQSuiaWmM. We’re three engineers coming from healthcare AI. We’d love feedback, issues, star(s), and feature requests. Happy to answer questions here. — Ray (and Alex & Dima) Repo: https://github.com/VectorlyApp/web-hacker
