ApiClay
ApiClay helps developers and business teams find APIs, publish data sources as APIs, and extract website content into usable data. Teams can test integrations in a playground and connect remote-MCP-compatible agents to API data.
Who it's for
- App developers who need to find, test, and integrate third-party APIs using ready-to-run code examples.
- Teams with data in databases, spreadsheets, files, or existing services that want to publish it through API endpoints.
- Developers and data teams who need website extraction, list enrichment, or change monitoring as part of an app or workflow.
How it fits your workflow
For API consumers, search the catalog, inspect an API's reference and pricing, then test inputs in the playground and review the response. Copy a JavaScript, Python, or cURL example into the app and use the selected API's credentials.
For teams publishing data, connect a supported database, spreadsheet, file, HTTP service, or OpenAPI definition and configure the API's access, pricing, and usage limits. Website extraction can also turn a page into clean text or structured output.
Teams can also upload lists for enrichment, monitor APIs or webpages for changes, or connect a remote-MCP-compatible assistant or agent to search for and call APIs.
Pricing

Key features
- API catalog and discovery
- Search a catalog of APIs and datasets by use case, category, and filters, then review an API's reference and pricing information.
- API playground and code examples
- Test requests and inspect responses in a playground, then use ready-to-run JavaScript, Python, or cURL examples to integrate an API.
- Publish data as an API
- Create API endpoints from MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Airtable, Google Sheets, Excel or CSV files, HTTP services, or Swagger/OpenAPI files.
- Website extraction
- Turn website pages into clean Markdown, JSON, text, or links, with static, JavaScript, or automatic rendering options.
- Cloud browser and automation
- Use a cloud browser to interact with webpages, such as selecting a date and searching a page, then return captured results.
- API aggregation
- Call multiple providers in parallel and return a combined response.
Works with
- Remote MCP-compatible assistants and agents
- Databases and data sources
- Swagger / OpenAPI
Limitations to know
- Pricing is specific to each API, so users need to check that API's Pricing tab before making paid calls.
- The homepage examples use sample data and do not make live API calls.
- The page advises users to keep ApiClay API keys in server settings rather than exposing them in a webpage.
Alternatives to consider
-
Apify
Choose it if you want ready-to-run Actors for scraping and crawling from a web data extraction marketplace, with SDKs and tools for building and scaling those workflows.
-
API Hub
Choose it if your priority is enterprise-grade APIs and MCP servers, along with tools for converting, publishing, and monetizing APIs.
Getting started
- Search the catalog for an API or dataset, or choose a data source to publish.
- Use the API reference and playground to inspect requests and responses.
- Check API-specific pricing before making paid calls.
- Integrate the selected API using a code example, or connect a compatible agent through the MCP endpoint.
Frequently asked questions
How are credentials handled?
The page says database or provider passwords used when publishing an API are stored encrypted on ApiClay and are not shown to buyers. It advises API users to keep their ApiClay key in server settings, not in a webpage.
Can API publishers set their own pricing and limits?
Yes. Publishers choose the free trial, plans, pay-as-you-go price, and usage limits for their API.
Which AI assistants can connect?
The page says assistants or agents that support remote MCP can connect, including Claude, ChatGPT, and custom agents. Connection uses the ApiClay MCP endpoint and an API key.
What does it cost to start?
Browsing, searching, and reading API docs are free. Each API sets its own price and may have a free trial; paid calls are charged per request from the credit balance, with pricing shown on the API's Pricing tab.
Do homepage examples make live API calls?
No. The homepage previews use sample data and incur no charges. The page directs users to an API's Reference, Playground, and Pricing tabs to set up and test a real integration.
