What it is
WrapAPI builds APIs on top of existing websites through a visual Builder. A Chrome extension records browser actions and page loads, filters server requests and turns selected requests into API templates. The Builder extracts data from HTML, JSON and XML responses, including multiple layouts and error cases. Changing URL or request-body parts can become parameters, while outputs can be selected or defined with regular expressions. Users can set URLs, query strings, POST data and file uploads, then call published endpoints with ordinary HTTP requests. Listed methods include GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH and TRACE. WrapAPI supports API, extension, self-hosted and web access, plus reusable workflows. Its Proxy records Android app and webview requests, inspects desktop app requests, and saves and replays requests for debugging. The free Community plan costs nothing and includes 30,000 API calls monthly, but public APIs must be shared with the community and support has no SLA.
