TinyFish Cookbook: 30+ Web Agent Recipes
Use TinyFish API's Agent endpoint to automate multi-step web tasks like deal hunting and competitor scouting; repo provides 28+ open-source examples outperforming benchmarks by 21-34 points.
TinyFish API Handles Complex Web Tasks with Clean JSON Outputs
TinyFish delivers state-of-the-art web agents via API, turning websites into programmable interfaces without managing browsers or selectors. Call endpoints with goals and URLs to get structured JSON for navigation, forms, and dynamic content. It scored 90% on Mind2Web benchmark (300 parallel tasks), beating Gemini by 21 points, OpenAI by 29, and Anthropic by 34—results fully public.
Four endpoints cover use cases:
- Agent: Natural language goals for multi-step flows (10s-minutes runtime).
- Search: Sub-second indexed discovery of online sources.
- Fetch: Converts pages to clean Markdown for LLMs (seconds).
- Browser: Rents cloud browsers for Playwright/Selenium scripts (real-time).
This scales enterprise-grade automation (used by Google, Doordash) for any builder, handling proxies and parallelism across sites.
Recipes Demonstrate Parallel Scraping for Deals, Research, and Intelligence
Repo's 28+ standalone folders show production-ready apps; clone and run with API key. Grouped by pattern:
Deal Hunters (price/availability across retailers): lego-hunter (15+ sites), openbox-deals (8 retailers), game-buying-guide (10 platforms), waifu-deal-sniper (anime figures), viet-bike-scout (motorbike rentals), wing-command (chicken wings), district-rent-shark.
Research & Discovery: anime-watch-hub/manga-finder (free streaming), scholarship-finder/summer-school-finder/tutor-finder (live site pulls), concept-discovery-system (GitHub/Dev.to validation), code-reference-finder (GitHub/Stack Overflow snippets), research-sentry (ArXiv/PubMed voice co-pilot), competitor-analysis/scout-cli (pricing/features).
Decision Tools: bestbet (sports odds), restaurant-comparison-tool (reviews/menus/allergens), loan-decision-copilot (banks/regions), stay-scout-hub (event lodging), pharmacy-panic, tenders-finder (Singapore gov portals), silicon-signal (semiconductors).
Workflows & Ops: fast-qa (parallel no-code tests), logistics-sentry (ports/carriers), tinyskills (skill guides). n8n integrations: Competitor Scout (OpenAI+evidence), Web Research Agent (Notion reports), Daily Product Hunt Tracker (Telegram).
Each uses Agent for parallelism, e.g., game-buying-guide queries 10 sites simultaneously for best deals.
