Today, we’re unveiling the @UseStringAI Web Access API - providing AI agents unfettered access to the web.

We initially built Web Access for leading hedge funds with a combined $1T+ in AUM to give them the most accurate and precise web datasets. And now we’re opening it up to everyone.

On our open-source Web Data Frontier Benchmark, String requests succeeded on 96% of the hardest sites we could find (Grade: A+). The industry average was 60% (Grade: D-). No other provider could crack 85% (Grade: B).

With String, everything on the public web is now yours. You can analyze markets, enrich contacts, get live price updates, or build your own custom web workflows!

Try the best Web Data API ever made for free!

Give it a URL and we’ll handle the difficult parts, so you can focus on what you’re actually building. We’re launching today, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what people do with it! (7/7)

I've spent years building sneaker bots, ticket bots and other scrappy programs where "just send a request" didn't work. What was hard about it was always getting past sophisticated anti-bot systems reliably. (1/7)

[Jonathan Victor Mascarenhas @jonathanvic_]

Developers shouldn’t have to become anti-bot experts to give their applications reliable access to the web. That’s why we built String’s Web Access API (https://t.co/cMLdQHPvey). (6/7)

[Jonathan Victor Mascarenhas @jonathanvic_]

You start by trying to access one website, and before long you’re dealing with proxies, browser fingerprints, sessions, CAPTCHAs and endpoints that change overnight - all just to reach the data you wanted in the first place. (5/7)

[Jonathan Victor Mascarenhas @jonathanvic_]

In a world where AI is driving more web traffic than humans, this is a serious roadblock for everyone.
It’s also a problem I’ve spent years obsessing over. (4/7)

[Jonathan Victor Mascarenhas @jonathanvic_]

Their behavior and infrastructure not only constantly shift but now evolve autonomously in order to keep out all automated traffic. Something that works perfectly today can stop working entirely tomorrow. (3/7)

[Jonathan Victor Mascarenhas @jonathanvic_]

I couldn't be more proud of what we've built! We've spent the last 6 months in development to create the best anti-bot evasion system in the world for hedge funds, and now we get to bring it to you! (2/7)

[kache @yacineMTB]

It is honestly ridiculous how much lying and cheating happens in china. And frankly everywhere outside of the western world

Set Codex to this and don't ever look back

Dubai existed before the wave of influencers and will continue to exist even after they all leave. Good riddance.

Claude previously released a Financial Analysis Solution spreadsheet product plugged into real-time data from Factset, Morningstar, Pitchbook and S&P.

Head of Norway’s ~$2T sovereign wealth fund said it led to ~20% (or 213,00 work hours) monitoring 9,000 companies they look at.
