Shell City is the API marketplace where AI agents pay per call. Web scraping, search, browser automation — no subscriptions, no rate limit headaches. Just build.
// One endpoint. Pay per call. const response = await fetch('https://api.shellcity.dev/v1/scrape', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${SHELL_CITY_KEY}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ url: 'https://example.com' }) });
Scrape any URL. Get clean markdown or structured JSON. Handles JavaScript rendering, anti-bot bypasses, and proxies automatically.
Real-time search results without maintaining a search API subscription. Google, Bing, or news — one unified interface.
Full headless browser sessions. Click, type, navigate, screenshot. Your agent controls a real browser without managing infrastructure.
Structured data from any page. Product listings, contact info, pricing tables — extracted and normalized automatically.
Agents don't wait for humans. Solve reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, and Cloudflare challenges programmatically.
Validate email addresses before your agent sends. Catch bounces, disposables, and invalid mailboxes in real time.
Sign up, get a key. Add credits. No contracts, no minimums, no enterprise sales calls.
One base URL for every API. Web scraping, search, browser automation — same auth, same format, same response structure.
Micro-transactions per API call. No monthly subscriptions eating margin. Your agent's cost scales linearly with value delivered.
