Today we're excited to announce AI-Powered Web Analysis — a new /v1/analyze endpoint that lets you analyze any webpage using your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key.
This is a game-changer for competitive intelligence, compliance audits, lead qualification, and automated research workflows.
The Problem with Traditional Web Scraping
Traditional web scraping gives you raw data — HTML, text, maybe some structured metadata. But what if you need to understand the content? What if you want to:
- Extract pricing tiers from a competitor's pricing page
- Check if a webpage has required legal disclaimers
- Analyze the sentiment of customer reviews
- Qualify leads by understanding their company's website
- Monitor competitors' messaging changes over time
Until now, you'd need to build a custom pipeline: scrape the page, clean the data, send it to an LLM, parse the response. That's a lot of infrastructure for a simple question.
One API Call to Understand Any Webpage
With our new /v1/analyze endpoint, it's just one API call:
curl -X POST "https://api.snapapi.pics/v1/analyze" \
-H "X-Api-Key: YOUR_SNAPAPI_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"url": "https://competitor.com/pricing",
"prompt": "List all pricing tiers with features and prices",
"provider": "openai",
"apiKey": "YOUR_OPENAI_KEY"
}'That's it. SnapAPI handles:
- Loading the page in a real browser
- Blocking ads and cookie banners
- Extracting clean, readable content
- Sending it to your LLM with your prompt
- Returning the analysis
Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
We believe in giving you control. That's why AI Analysis uses your own LLM API key:
- You control costs — LLM usage goes to your OpenAI/Anthropic account
- You choose the model — Use GPT-4o, Claude Sonnet, or any supported model
- No markup — SnapAPI only charges for the web extraction
- Full flexibility — Access the latest models as they're released
💡 Why BYOK?
Some competitors charge premium prices for AI features. With BYOK, you pay provider rates directly. A typical analysis costs $0.01-0.05 with OpenAI, plus SnapAPI's extraction cost.
Structured Output for Reliable Automation
Need predictable JSON for your pipeline? Use the jsonSchema parameter:
{
"url": "https://example.com/team",
"prompt": "Extract all team members",
"provider": "openai",
"apiKey": "YOUR_KEY",
"jsonSchema": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"team_members": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": { "type": "string" },
"role": { "type": "string" },
"bio": { "type": "string" }
}
}
}
}
}
}With structured output, you get consistent JSON every time — perfect for data pipelines and automation.
Visual Analysis with Screenshots
Some questions require looking at the page, not just reading it. Enable includeScreenshot: true for visual analysis:
{
"url": "https://example.com",
"prompt": "Describe the visual design and UX of this landing page",
"provider": "anthropic",
"apiKey": "YOUR_ANTHROPIC_KEY",
"includeScreenshot": true
}This sends a screenshot to vision-capable models like GPT-4o or Claude for analysis of visual elements, layout, branding, and more.
