Overview

What is Reefapi?

Reefapi is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to over 160 live web-data APIs, covering search engines, social media (Reddit, TikTok, Threads, Bluesky), e-commerce (Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Etsy), real estate (Zillow, Redfin), jobs, travel, news, and finance. It returns clean JSON from sites that block scrapers (CAPTCHA, anti-bot, login walls, JS-heavy), enabling assistants to fetch content they otherwise cannot.

How to use Reefapi?

Get one API key, top up your credit pool (free tier available), then use the keyless discovery flow: search_engines → get_engine_schema → get_action_schema → call_engine. Failed calls are free; only successful requests consume credits.

FAQ from Reefapi

How is Reefapi different from using a generic web scraper or browser automation?

Reefapi has built-in handling for CAPTCHAs, anti-bot measures, login walls, and JavaScript-heavy sites. It returns clean JSON without the overhead of managing proxies, headless browsers, or manual bypass techniques.

What runtime or dependencies does Reefapi require?

You only need an API key and an MCP-compatible client or environment. No local proxies, browser dependencies, or additional libraries are required.

Where does the data come from and where is it stored?

Reefapi fetches data live from the specified web sources through its own infrastructure. No data is stored on the server after the request completes; you receive the response JSON directly.

Are there any rate limits or usage restrictions?

The service operates on a prepaid credit model with a free tier. Failed calls do not consume credits. Specific rate limits are not mentioned in the README beyond the free tier availability.
