Stop scraping websites manually. I built APIs for football and anime data

If you have ever tried scraping websites for data, you already know how painful it gets.

Selectors break. HTML changes. Your app stops working for no clear reason.

I ran into this problem while building projects that needed football news and anime data. Instead of constantly fixing scraping scripts, I decided to build a simple solution.

I created two APIs that return clean structured data so you do not have to deal with parsing HTML.
You will get all the info from my landing pages :)

APIs

RapidAPI

What these APIs solve

No need to write scraping logic
No broken selectors when websites change
Clean JSON responses ready to use
Faster development for side projects and apps

Current progress

The football API is already at around 1K API calls with a few paying users. That gave me confidence to build and launch the anime API as well.

Who this is for

Developers building apps or side projects
Anyone who needs quick access to structured data
People tired of maintaining scrapers

If you are building something in this space, I would love to hear your feedback.
